Police have launched a desperate appeal to trace a schoolboy who vanished from his Perthshire home overnight. Scott Farquhar, 15, was last seen at home in Almondbank at around 11.15pm on Tuesday, October 18.
Officers are growing increasingly concerned for the teen's welfare and say that it is out of character for him to have left his home without notifying anyone. Authorities believe he may not have travelled far, as the schoolboy doesn't have his phone or money with him.
Scott is described as being 5ft10in tall, of thin build, with short brown hair. He was last seen wearing light grey jogging bottoms and a red hooded top.
Police Scotland are urging anyone who might have spotted Scott since last night, or knows where he has gone, to contact them.
Inspector Garry Miller said: “We are appealing for anyone who may have seen Scott or knows of his whereabouts to get in touch. It is really out of character for him to not let anybody know where he is going.
"He doesn’t have any money or phone with him so we do not think he will have travelled far. We urge anyone with any information get in touch with us. If Scott sees or hears about this appeal then please let us know you are okay.”
Anyone with any information should contact Police via 101, quoting reference number 3857 of Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
