Police searching for a missing Kilsyth man have been out speaking to locals a week on since his disappearance.
We told you last week how concern was growing over the welfare of Alexander McMillan, with renewed appeals from police to help trace him.
That led to officers taking to the streets of his home town a week on from when he was last seen, speaking to pedestrians and motorists between 11.30pm on Monday and 1.30am on Tuesday morning earlier this week.
The 46-year-old failed to return home last Monday (April 25), having last been seen by family and friends on the town’s Donaldson Avenue at around 11.45pm.
Bobbies on the beat spoke with six pedestrians and stopped 52 cars in the Manse Road area during their efforts this week in the hope it would jog people’s memories.
Inspector Susan Rae told Lanarkshire Live : “It has now been a week since Alexander was last seen and since then he has not made any contact with family or friends. As time passes we are becoming increasingly concerned for his wellbeing and safety.
“Since Alexander was reported missing, extensive searches and enquiries have been carried out throughout the Kilsyth area. These searches are ongoing and we continue to appeal to the public to assist with our enquiries.
“I would urge anyone who has seen Alexander, or who has any information that may be relevant to our investigation, to contact us as soon as possible.”
Police Scotland told us that the last sighting of the Kilsyth man was Constarry Road in Croy on Wednesday (April 27).
Investigating officers said family and friends have not spoken with him since.
Alexander is described as around 6ft 1in, of slim build with a long grey unkempt beard and receding hair.
At that time he was wearing a navy hooded jumper, a baseball cap, grey trousers or jogging bottoms and dark coloured Adidas Gazelle trainers.
He was carrying two rucksacks - one white and grey with a ‘Timberland’ logo, and the other blue/white/grey striped.
He was also carrying a fishing rod in a carry case.
Anyone with any information should contact Police via 101.
Information can be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
