Police have launched a fresh appeal to find a Scots fugitive wanted in connection with a Bishopbriggs murder from 2007.
Derek Ferguson, who features on the National Crime Agency’s most wanted list, is being hunted by officers in connection with the murder of Thomas Cameron who was killed on the town’s Auchinairn Road on June 28, 2007.
On the 14 th anniversary of Mr Cameron’s death, independent charity Crimestoppers have issued a £5000 reward to anyone who can contact anonymously with information leading to Ferguson’s arrest.
It is believed Ferguson may be based among criminal associates in Spain.
It is likely he no longer uses his original name and may not be speaking with a Scottish accent.
Ferguson is part of the National Crime Agency’s Operation Captura fugitives hunt.
Investigating officers have released images showing what Ferguson previously looked like and what he may look like now.
Detective Superintendent John Wyllie, who is leading the investigation, said: “I am continuing to appeal for anyone who has any knowledge of Ferguson’s whereabouts to get in touch with any information which could help us trace him.
“Since 2007, we have carried out extensive enquiries and I am certain that the commitment and tenacity of our officers and our partner agencies will result in Ferguson being found.
“If you know Derek Ferguson or have any information which will help us locate him, please come forward.
“Any information, no matter how basic it might seem, may be of significant assistance. If you are unsure whether information you know will assist our enquiries, please just share it with us.
“If you don’t want to talk to my investigation team, you can speak to Crimestoppers anonymously as they are also offering a substantial reward for any information which leads to Ferguson’s arrest.
“If you have any information, please do not hesitate to contact Police Scotland on 101 or information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
