Police find man who vanished from Edinburgh after warning public not to approach him

POLICE have traced a man that they warned the public not to approach.

Sandy Ross, 26, disappeared from the Leith Links area of the capital last week around 9pm on Sunday night.

Now Police investigations have uncovered Sandy.

He was known to have connections in Fife, the Lothians and the Borders.

Detective Inspector Michael Smith said: “We want to trace and speak to Mr Ross as quickly as possible and officers would like to hear from anyone who knows where he his and anyone who he may have been in contact with.

“I would like to reassure people that considerable and extensive efforts are being put into locating him.

"I would ask members of the public not to approach Mr Ross if you believe you have seen him but to call us immediately.

“Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1805 of Thursday, 13 February.

"Alternatively, you can make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
