Police have launched an appeal to find a missing Springburn man who disappeared over a week ago after leaving a hospital.
Gary Smith, of Springburn Road, was receiving treatment at Stobhill Hospital.
The 23-year-old left the hospital at around 4.30pm on Thursday, August 27 and police say it is not known which direction he went.
He is described as white, 6 foot in height, with a slim build and short brown hair. When he was last seen, he was wearing blue jeans, a white polo-top and white trainers.
Inspector Catherine McNally, of Baird Street Police Office, said: “It is out of character for Gary to go missing and to not be in contact with family and friends. There is mounting concern for his wellbeing and we are now appealing for the assistance of the public in tracing Gary safe and well.
“Enquiries and searches are currently ongoing into his whereabouts. It is possible that Gary could be in the area of Ayr or also Greater Glasgow. I would urge anyone who has seen him, or who has any information regarding his whereabouts to contact Police Scotland officers at Baird Street on 101.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
