Police ask for “sheds search” for missing man

Police searching for a missing man are urging people living in Thurso to check their outbuildings and sheds.

They have also issued a photograph of 53-year-old Morris MacLeod, who was last spoken to in the Caithness town in the early hours of this morning.

And they have renewed their appeal for any information regarding his whereabouts.

A police spokesman said they were now asking local residents to “check outbuildings and sheds where possible to assist in the search for Mr MacLeod”.

Mr MacLeod, of Wick, is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall and of slim build, with shaved grey hair.

He walks with the aid of a stick and, when last seen, he was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, black shoes, a grey and black camouflage jacket and a blue fleece.

Anyone with any information that may help police with their inquiries is asked to contact them on 101.
