Police appeal for help to trace missing 55-year old from Dalmuir

Police Scotland is appealing for information from the public to help trace a 55 year-old man missing from the Dalmuir area of Clydebank.

Melville Cowan (55) was last seen leaving Overtoun Court, Dalmuir at around 8.50 am on the morning of Monday 11 June 2018.

After his family became concerned that they had not seen or heard from him, he was reported missing to the police on Monday 25 June 2018.

He is described as being around 5ft 8, of stocky build with greying receding hair with facial stubble. He is believed to be wearing a black bubble jacket, light grey t-shirt, grey jogging bottoms and black trainers.

Inspector Mo Boyle, Dumbarton Police Office, said: “As time passes we are becoming increasingly concerned for Melville’s safety and wellbeing.

“He was reported missing to police yesterday, however nobody has heard or seen him since Monday 11 June 2018. He has gone missing before, however never for this length of time.

“We are keeping an open mind as to Melville's whereabouts and officers are considering whether he is in the local area, or whether he has travelled elsewhere.

“He has a travel pass and we are working with bus and rail companies, as well as checking CCTV, in an effort to trace him.

"I would appeal to anyone who may have seen him in the Clydebank area, or indeed on a bus or train, to please come forward and provide us with that information.

“We would also appeal to Melville himself to get in touch and let us or his family know he is okay.”

Anyone with information should contact Police on 101 quoting incident number 2022 of Monday June 25.
