Lanarkshire teen reported missing in Fife for four days

Police are appealing for information to help trace a teenager reported missing in Fife.

Liam Southby, 15, was visiting a relative in St Andrews and failed to return to his home in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, four days ago.

He was last seen in the early hours of Monday March 20 and has not been in contact with friends or family.

The teenager is known to travel by bus and has connections in Dundee, Edinburgh and Airdrie as well as Fife.

He is described as white, slim, 5ft 9ins, with blue eyes and short dark brown hair which is shorter than in his photograph.

When last seen, Liam was wearing black jeans, a black zipper top and a black leather jacket. He also has letters tattooed on the knuckles of his left hand.

Sergeant Gordon Miller, of St Andrews police, said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for the well-being of Liam since he has not been seen for four days and this is unusual behaviour.

"We are keen to trace him or to hear from anyone who may have seen him since the early hours of Monday.

"Similarly, if Liam himself sees this appeal, we would ask him to get in touch with us or his family."
