Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of teenager Thomas Wilson, who was reported missing last week.
Officers have been conducting extensive searches for the 15-year-old after he was last seen at his home on Balmwell Terrace on 20th May.
Thomas is described as white, 5ft 4in, of slim build, with short brown hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a navy hooded top and navy jogging bottoms.
A boy matching his description has been spotted in the Craigmillar area of the city in the past 24 hours.
Inspector John Brock said: “Thomas has been missing from his home for ten days now and we are becoming increasingly concerned for his safety.
“Officers have been searching Edinburgh for him and we now have reason to believe that he is in Craigmillar.
“If anyone has any information that can assist with our enquiries, they are urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 immediately.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
