Searches and extensive enquiries are continuing today to find a missing Angus man.
Graeme Leslie, 62, who has been reported missing from his home in St Cyrus, was last spoken to by his family in Dundee on Friday July 14.
It is understood he may have been seen at his home at Scotston Place during Monday, July 17, by neighbours.
Following assistance from the public, there have been potential sightings of Mr Leslie in the Montrose High Street area on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr Leslie is known to frequent licensed premises in the Montrose and Dundee areas and officers are appealing for anyone who has seen a man matching his description to get in touch.
He is described as being white, around 5ft 1, of a stocky build, wears glasses and has a tattoo on his right forearm.
It is not known what he might be wearing.
In addition, it is understood he fell in the days leading up to him being reported missing whereby he sustained injuries to his face.
Inspector Megan Heathershaw, who is leading the search, said: “Mr Leslie had an accident prior to being reported missing by his family which resulted in him sustaining a bruise to one of his eyes.
“Given the severity of the injury he will still look bruised, which I hope might jog someone’s memory if they think they might have seen a man matching his description but not quite sure if it was him.
“It has been one week now since Mr Leslie spoke to his family and, despite several sightings, we have yet to confirm his whereabouts.
“Have you seen a man matching Mr Leslie’s description in any of the areas mentioned in the past few days?
“Are you a friend or family member and know where he might be?
“I would also appeal to Mr Leslie directly to get in touch with us if he sees this appeal.
“It is crucial we ensure you are safe and well.
“Searches involving specialist police officers will continue in the St Cyrus area today, with officers from both North East Division and Tayside carrying out extensive enquiries in the Montrose area in particular following possible sightings.
“I would like to thank the members of the public who have assisted us already with our appeal.
“To anyone else with information, please contact Police on 101 as soon as possible if you think you can help.”
