Fresh appeal for information about man missing from Bathgate

Police in Bathgate are re-appealing for information about missing 28-year-old Joel McDiarmid.

He was last seen by his family at his home around 4pm on Wednesday, 17 November.

He has not been in contact with his family or friends since then which is said to be completely out of character.

Joel is described as white, 6ft 3ins in height and of slim build with medium-length dyed blond hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a dark green G-Star jacket, black jogging trousers and black trainers.

Sergeant Neil Traynor said: “As time passes, we are becoming increasingly concerned for Joel’s safety and wellbeing. He has been dealing with some anxiety issues lately and despite a number of searches and enquiries to trace him, we have not yet been able to locate him.

“He is known to travel by public transport and likes to visit Glasgow and Edinburgh, and we are liaising with our colleagues in these areas too in case he has travelled there.

“I would urge anyone who has seen Joel since Wednesday to contact us, or indeed Joel himself to get in touch us to let us know that he is safe and well. Anyone with any information on his whereabouts should contact us through 101 quoting reference 1809 of 18 November.”
