Police appeal for help to trace missing man

Police in Edinburgh are appealing for help in tracing a young man who has been reported missing.

Twenty year old Ian Clelland, who suffers from autism, was last seen around 3pm today (Saturday, Nov 23) on the city’s Newmarket Road. He was close to a bus stop near the Asda supermarket but it is not know if he boarded a bus.

Mr Clelland, who lives in the Saughton Mains area of the city, has dark brown hair and wears dark rimmed glasses. He was clothed in light coloured track suit bottoms, trainers and a dark coloured hooded top.

Inspector Chris Scobbie of Police Scotland Edinburgh Division said: “We are concerned for the welfare of Mr Clelland as it is out of character for him to go missing. It is a cold night and we want to ensure he is safe and well. If anyone has seen him or has any information about his whereabouts, they should call the Police”.

Police can be contacted by phoning 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800555111.
