A Scots teen who has been missing from Dundee since Saturday may have travelled to Aberdeen.
Dean Emslie vanished from the area at around 6pm on Saturday, October 1. The 14-year-old is believed to have travelled to Aberdeen and also has connections in Peterhead, meaning he may have made his way there also.
The youngster has not been seen or heard from since his disappearance, causing concern among officers and prompting them to appeal for the public's help as part of their ongoing efforts to trace him.
Dean is described as around 5ft 11ins tall with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black cap, jacket, jogging bottoms, white trainers and a white t-shirt.
Anyone who may have seen Dean since this time or who has any information which could be relevant to the search effort is urged to get in touch with Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 2804 of 1st October.
