Police appeal for help to trace missing 13-year-old Blake Ross

Police are appealing for help to trace a 13-year-old boy who has gone missing without the medication he needs.

Blake Ross was last seen in the Howdenhall around 3.15pm on Saturday and he is thought to have been heading towards the Gracemount area.

He also has links to the Moredun and Wester Hailes.

When last seen he was wearing a black hoodie, black jogging bottoms, black trainers and was carrying a white rucksack. He is around 5ft 2in tall with short dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Inspector Bob Innes of Howdenhall said: “Blake has a health condition that requires regular medication which he will not currently have access to.

“We’d ask anyone who may have seen Blake since this time, or who has information on his whereabouts, to get in touch.

“Likewise, if Blake see’s this appeal, he’s asked to get in touch with us or someone he trusts and let us know he is alright.”

Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
