Worried pals of Saltcoats man Jamie Cannon set to scour industrial estate in bid to find missing teen

Worried friends and loved ones of Jamie Cannon are set to scour industrial estate in bid to find the missing Saltcoats teen.

Volunteers will gather at Stevenston Industrial Estate at 1pm on Sunday after the 19-year-old suddenly vanished 60 days ago.

Police say Jamie was last seen on Thursday, May 20, on Kerr Avenue before being spotted at Auchenharvie Golf Course later that same day.

He has so far failed to make contact with any family while his bank accounts remain untouched.

His mobile phone is also understood to still be turned off.

The latest search effort by the teenager’s friends and family follows an appeal from Police Scotland for residents to check their outbuildings.

Speaking earlier this month, Inspector Alison Wilson of Saltcoats Police Office said: “As time goes by we are increasingly concerned for the welfare of Jamie.

“We are urging residents to check any sheds or outbuildings that they have for signs that Jamie may have taken shelter there.

“We are extremely grateful to members of the public who have assisted us already.

“We remain committed to utilising all resources available to us, in conjunction with the tremendous effort from the local community, to locate him.

“If you have seen him then please contact us without hesitation. Jamie is described as being 6ft 1inch tall, with short dark hair.

“When he was last seen he was wearing grey jogging bottoms, grey trainers, a blue jacket and was carrying a camouflage backpack.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 1623 of 22 May.”

Friends are also changing their Facebook profile pictures to an image of the teen in a bid to spark the memory of anyone who may have seen him.

His cousin, Leanne Graham, said: “We have also planned to get everyone's Facebook pictures changed to Jamie’s face for day 60 to keep his face out there and get him home."
