Police have launched an urgent appeal to help trace a missing teenager who vanished from Forfar over the weekend.
Ethan Simpson, 14, was last seen in the Priory Court area of the town at around 8.30pm on Saturday, May 30. He was reported missing to Police Scotland on the morning of Monday, June 1.
The teenager is described as white, around 5ft 6in tall, of slim build and with short brown hair.
Officers say they are becoming increasingly concerned for Ethan’s welfare as enquiries continue to establish his movements since he was last seen.
Inspector Gavin Harris said: “We’re concerned for Ethan’s welfare given the passage of time since he was last seen and last in contact with his family.
“Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace Ethan’s movements since Saturday night and I’m appealing for the help of the public.
“Have you seen Ethan, or someone matching his description? Do you have any private CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage which may have captured anything which could help us find him?
“He may have also used public transport and I’d ask anyone who thinks they’ve seen him on a bus or train to get in touch.”
