A search has been launched to help find a 37 year-old man who was last seen at Ayr Hospital.

James Sharpe, from Catrine, was last seen on Friday January 11. He's described as white, 5ft 4 inches tall and of slim build with short greying hair. He has a tattoo of a devil on his right forearm.

Inspector McColl of Ayr Police Office said today:

“Enquiries are continuing today to trace James who was reported missing to police in the early hours of Saturday morning.

“Although James is reported missing from within the South Ayrshire area he resides in and frequents the East Ayrshire areas.

“I would ask anyone who has seen James, or anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact police. I would also ask James himself to contact police to let us know he is safe and well. Any information can be passed to officers at either Ayr or Cumnock Police office by calling the non-emergency number 101"
