Officers say they've spoken to more than 400 people in the search for a missing 25-year-old man from Strathaven.

Lewis Cuthbert was last seen around 4pm on Monday the 4th August on Lesmahagow Road.

He's known to busk in the centre of Glasgow and Edinburgh and police say they're carrying out door-to-door enquiries to try to trace him.

Chief Inspector Paul Doyle, local area commander, said: "We have significant resources dedicated to finding Lewis and we are urging the public to come forward with any information about his whereabouts.

"Over 300 vehicles have been stopped and the drivers questioned as part of this investigation and over 400 people have been spoken to.

“Door-to-door enquiries are still being carried out and there will continue to be a significant police presence in the area while our searches are ongoing.

"We understand this may be concerning for the local community but please be assured we are working hard to find Lewis.

"If anyone has any information that may help us trace Lewis, please get in touch, no matter how trivial it may seem it could help us find Lewis.

"If you have dash cam or private CCTV footage of around the Lesmahagow Road area, check and see if you have captured anything.

"Think back to Monday, 4 August, did you see anyone matching his description?

"If you know anything that could help, please speak to us."
