Police 'extremely concerned' for missing Lanarkshire OAP

Police in Bellshill have again asked for help in tracing a missing OAP.

Edward McDonald was last seen by a family member on Carnbroe Road, around 10am on Monday (November 29).

The 75-year-old takes regular medication, and it’s not known if he has this with him or not.

Police and Edward’s family are now becoming “extremely concerned” for his wellbeing.

PC Emma Smith told Lanarkshire Live : “Edward’s family has not had contact with him since Monday, which is unusual, and they are extremely concerned for him.

“We are asking people who were driving in the Shirrel / Hattonrigg area of Bellshill to review dashcam footage from Monday onward, for any possible sightings of Edward.

“We also ask anyone who has seen Edward since Monday, or if Edward himself is reading this, please contact us.”

Though last seen by his family on Monday, it’s now believe there have been sightings of Edward on a cycle path near to Carrick Place in the town.

He is described as 5ft 8in tall, of medium build, with short grey/white hair and a beard.

He was last seen wearing a black jacket, dark khaki fleece, dark trousers, dark shoes and a khaki skip cap.

Edward’s known to visit Glasgow city centre.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101.

Information can also be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
