Police have released a CCTV image of a missing Scots teenager's last known sighting.
Danny Brunton, 17, has been missing from his home in Port Seton, East Lothian, since Sunday, May 29.
Officers have established a new most recent sighting of him on Portobello High Street at around 4.30am on Monday, May 30,
The youngster was heading towards Edinburgh city centre.
Following the sighting, Danny's desperate mum has issued a statement through Police Scotland.
She said: “Danny is largely non-verbal and is not able to communicate well.
“He isn’t used to being around others so it is possible he might have sought shelter or made a den to take himself away from people.
“I would urge anyone who thinks they might have seen him at any time since Sunday night to let the police know immediately rather than speaking with him as this might potentially alarm him further.
“We just want to make sure he is safe and to get him home.”
Danny is described as around 5ft 7in tall, of a slim build with shoulder-length dark blonde hair.
When last seen, he was wearing a black Adidas/Nike rain jacket, grey jogging bottoms and a black rucksack.
He is believed to be wearing either black sliders or white converse shoes.
Inspector George Nisbet said: “As time passes, our concern for Danny’s welfare continues to grow. Extensive enquiries are ongoing to locate him and we are keeping his family informed at every stage.
“We believe Danny has passed through Tranent, Prestonpans and Musselburgh and that he is now in Edinburgh.
“We are working extensively to try and find Danny and I would ask anyone in these areas to check garages, sheds, and outbuildings for any signs of him as he is likely to have sought shelter.
“We would also continue ask anyone with a dash-cam, CCTV or doorbell camera to check your footage for anything of relevance that might help us with our enquiries.
“Danny is vulnerable and may feel apprehensive about speaking with members of the public, so if you see him please contact police immediately rather than approaching him.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 0994 of Monday, May 30.
