Search dogs will be used over the next few days in an effort to trace missing Lachlan Simpson.

The 22 year old, from Embo, disappeared more than a week ago from Donorch.

Dozens of volunteers have been involved looking for him last week.

Police confirmed specialist search dogs would be deployed as part of the continuing operation this week.

Officers are asking locals not to approach dogs while the search continues.

Chief Inspector Iain MacLelland said: “I would once again take this opportunity to thank the local community and members of the public for their continued support and assistance.

“Although no further volunteer searches are planned at this time, police enquiries and searches remain ongoing. Today we once again have Specialist Search Officers and the Police Scotland Dog Unit searching throughout the area.

“The dogs are highly-trained and to ensure their focus is fully on tracing Lachlan, we would ask members of the public to refrain from approaching them whilst they are actively searching."
