The family of Dean Conner is urging anyone with any information to get in touch with the police, as they are desperate for his safe return home.
They released a statement saying: "We are completely heartbroken and just want to find Dean. Please get in touch with the police if you can help."

"In addition, I urge anyone who has seen Dean since he went missing or knows where he might be to call us.”
Anyone who can assist officers with their enquiries is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2238 of Friday, 31 December, 2021.
