Police officers searching for a man who has been missing for almost two weeks have been using drones in a bid to find him.
Joel McDiarmid (28) has not been seen since leaving his family at his home in Boghall around 4pm on Wednesday, November 17.
He has not been in contact with his family or friends since then which is completely out of character for him.
Police deployed a drone in the Bathgate area yesterday to try and find him.
He is described as white, six feet three inches in height and of slim build with medium-length dyed blond hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a dark green G-Star jacket, black jogging trousers and black trainers.
Sergeant Neil Traynor said: “As time passes, we are becoming increasingly concerned for Joel’s safety and wellbeing. He has been dealing with some anxiety issues lately and despite a number of searches and enquiries to trace him, we have not yet been able to locate him.
“He is known to travel by public transport and likes to visit Glasgow and Edinburgh, and we are liaising with our colleagues in these areas too in case he has travelled there. “I would urge anyone who has seen Joel since Wednesday to contact us, or indeed Joel himself to get in touch us to let us know that he is safe and well.
"Anyone with any information on his whereabouts should contact us through 101 quoting reference 1809 of 18 November.”
