A Lithuanian woman whose family had raised concerns about her whereabouts has been found, the police said on Friday afternoon.

The family of Ugne Bastyte, 25, had posted on social media appealing for help locating her after they had been unable to reach her for around two weeks. 

But on Friday afternoon, the police informed Times of Malta that Bastyte had been found, with officers having spoken to her in person and confirmed her safety. 

A spokesperson for the police said she had been found in the company of her partner Ismael Gigo, who Bastyte's brother Paulius said in a Facebook post she had been living with. 

Earlier today, staff at Bastyte's employer Simon Mamo Real Estate - a company she worked for as a freelance real estate agent - said they had not heard from her in around three weeks, and that they had been contacted by the police and the Lithuanian consulate. 

The consulate confirmed they had been contacted by the woman's family in Lithuania for assistance, and had been in contact with the police. 

Messages sent by Times of Malta to the social media accounts of Bastyte, her brother in Lithuania and Gigo remain unanswered at the time of publication.

The Facebook post by Bastyte's brother requesting assistance was removed shortly before the original article reporting her purported disappearance was published earlier today.
