Searches in Tradeston and Bromielaw areas of Glasgow as police grow 'increasingly worried' for missing man

Police are carrying out searches in the Tradeston and Bromielaw areas of Glasgow in the latest search for missing man Vincent Barr.

Concern for Vincent has been growing after he was last seen over three weeks ago.

Also known as Vinny or Bardo, the 54-year-old from the Govan area was last seen on Friday, September 18, around 9.10pm when he was captured on CCTV.

Footage shows him walking across the Tradeston footbridge, or the 'squiggly' bridge, and then heading into the wider Tradeston area.

Vincent is described as white, 5ft 6in in height, with a medium build. He has short light-brown hair and brown eyes, and also walks with a slight limp.

When last seen, he was wearing a grey Nike hoodie, black jogging bottoms and grey training shoes.

He has also been known to often visit the city centre of Glasgow, and also the Saracen, Possil and West End areas.

Sergeant Bob Anderson, from Helen Street Police Station, said: "It has been more than three weeks since the last confirmed sighting of Vincent and we are growing increasingly worried for his wellbeing.

"Extensive and significant enquiries have already been carried out, with a number of potential sightings of him in the city centre already followed up.

"To date however, he still hasn’t been traced, and so further searches are underway today the Tradeston and Bromielaw areas of the city where he was last seen.

"Vincent tends to keep himself to himself, but we would appeal directly to him to contact officers, or someone he knows, to confirm he is safe and well.

"I would again urge anyone who has possibly seen him, or who has any knowledge of where he might be, to please get in touch with us.

"It's imperative any information, no matter how small, is passed onto local officers, who can be spoken to via 101, quoting reference number 1116 of Sunday, 20 September."
