Sean Scott was last seen around 5.40pm on Thursday, September 1, at the Fort Kinnaird Retail Park on the outskirts of the city.

Officers say that Sean is vulnerable and is described as being of slim build, 5'5" tall, light stubble/beard and short brown hair.

When last seen he was wearing black and yellow ear defenders that look like headphones, a grey short sleeved plain t-shirt, black trousers, white trainers and white socks.

Inspector Graeme Dignan said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Sean. This is an extremely worrying time for his family and friends.

“We have issued a CCTV image of Sean from earlier on today in the hope that someone may recognise him.

“Officers are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to trace him but there have been no confirmed sightings of him.
