Stephen was wearing round, gold framed glasses, a beige jumper, a black leather motorbike jacket, black leather motorbike trousers and black leather gloves.

Sergeant Mandy Gillespie, from Paisley Police Station, said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to trace Stephen Read. Officers have been checking CCTV and searching the local area but so far no one has seen him in.

“There is a possibility that he may have travelled by bus to Inveraray in Argyll. Officers are currently checking the town and surrounding area to check.

“We would ask anyone who may have seen Stephen or who has any information as to his whereabouts to contact us. We’d also ask Stephen to call police to let us know he is safe and well. Our concern is only for his welfare.”

Information can be passed to officers via 101 quoting reference number 0981 of Sunday, 5 March 2023.
