Increased concern for welfare of missing Herpreet Bilkhu

Police are appealing for information to help trace a 43-year-old man reported missing in the Leith area.

Herpreet Bilkhu was last seen at a property on Thorntreeside around 7.20pm on Monday 14 March.

Herpreet is described as around 5ft 8in tall, slim build, with a black beard and an English accent. He was last seen wearing a blue turban.

Sergeant Patricia Hamilton, of Leith Police Station, said: “We’re increasingly concerned for Herpreet given the passage of time and he needs daily medication that he might no longer have access to.

“He may be driving a white BMW 330 with the registration number YA64 PYD.

“Herpreet is a keen hill walker, but this will affect his health if he doesn’t have his medication and we’re appealing for him to get in touch.”

Those with any information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
