Police in Gran Canaria have located an Irish woman who was reported missing by her family on Sunday. Detectives took the unusual step of naming Nicole Claire Ryan (46) in their “urgent” appeal for information on her whereabouts.

She had been staying in the popular Puerto Rico tourist area in the south of Gran Canaria. Overnight the civil guard released a photo of Ms Ryan and a description of the clothes she was wearing.

This morning a spokesman for the force confirmed she had been located “safe and well”.
