A man has gone missing from Edinburgh for two days, sparking a police search. Michael Meehan was last seen on Rose Street at around 3.30pm on Thursday, July 21 but has not been seen or heard from since.
The 41-year-old speaks with an Irish accent, has sunburn blisters on his face and may be barefoot. Officers say they have conducted enquiries in the city centre and Portobello in a bid to trace him, but they have been unsuccessful.
Worries are now mounting for Michael's welfare. The man is described as white, of slim build, around 6ft tall and with short grey hair. He doesn't have many teeth and has bad sunburn and blisters to his face.
Michael was wearing a dark coloured jacket, tracksuit bottoms and possibly trainers when he vanished. Police are now appealing for the assistance of the public to help trace him, and are asking anyone with any information on his whereabouts to come forward.
Sergeant Jonathan Wilson, Gayfield Police Station, said: "Since Mr Meehan was reported missing, officers have been checking CCTV and making local enquiries in Edinburgh City Centre and Portobello where he is known to frequent, however, there have been no further sightings of him.
“We are concerned for his health and well-being and would appeal to anyone who has seen him recently or who may have information as to where he is to get in touch with police.”
Information can be passed to officers via 101. Please quote reference number 2159 of Thursday, 21 July, 2022.
