Armed police scouring a Midlothian town on Friday night were hunting for missing prisoner Sean McGovern who is believed to be in the area.
The dangerous drug dealer, who absconded from Castle Huntly on Sunday, June 11, has connections with Edinburgh and the Lothians after being caged in 2008 for firing a shotgun outside a capital pub.
He received six years for the offence and ten for running a heroin empire in the capital. Police have issued several appeals to the public for help in tracing McGovern, but have warned locals not to approach him.
