Concern is growing for the welfare of a missing 34-year-old man who has not been seen in five days.

Patrick King was last seen in Livingston at around 7pm on Saturday and he has not been in touch with friends or family since .

Police say it is out of character for him not to have contacted family members.

He is described as being around 5ft8 tall with a slim build and shaved head.

When he was last seen he was wearing a grey tracksuit, white trainers and carrying a dark rucksack.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact officers at Livingston Police Station on 101.
