Nyandeng Weiu, 24, arrived in Australia seven weeks ago and speaks little English.

She was last seen in the Ipswich suburb of Collingwood Park at about 9:30pm on Saturday, October 1.

Police issued a press release on Sunday reporting her missing.

“She is described as being African in appearance, is around 180cms tall and has short black hair and a slim build,” police said in their latest press release.

The CCTV footage (below) shows her in an unidentified convenience store wearing a pink and black dress and talking on the phone.

“Police would like to remind members of the public that when investigating a missing persons case police seek to verify the safety and wellbeing of the missing person," the statement said.

“It is not a criminal offence to be a missing person and missing persons are not ‘in trouble’ with police.”

A spokesman for the South Sudanese community in Queensland, when contacted by SBS, appealed for Ms Wieu to contact her family but declined to comment further.
