Partner of missing Piotr Janik in plea for information

Published 1st Nov 2019

The partner of a man who went missing six days ago has described not knowing where he is as a "nightmare''.

Piotr Janik was reported missing from Aberdeen city centre on Sunday.

His partner Joanna Tatarek said on Friday: "With every passing day, we're becoming more and more worried about Piotr.

"Not knowing where he's been for the past six days has been a nightmare.

"If anyone knows anything that might help us, please get in touch with the police and give them any information you have.''

Police say they have "significant concerns'' for Mr Janik's wellbeing.

Investigations have discovered the 27-year-old has been using taxis and is thought to have travelled to Glasgow in the past two days.

Police also believe he may have links to Ayrshire.

Detective Inspector Sam Buchan, from Aberdeen CID, said: "Piotr was last seen in Aberdeen around 10am on Sunday October 27 at Strawberry Bank Parade. Our inquiries to trace him since then have been extensive.

"We have information that Piotr has since travelled to the Braehead area of Glasgow and has been in and around other areas of Glasgow.

"We're asking for anyone who knows Piotr or who has had any interaction with him this week to contact Police. Equally I would urge Piotr to contact Police Scotland to let us know he is safe and well.

"The slightest piece of information could prove vital, whether from the north east, Greater Glasgow, Ayrshire or elsewhere.''

Mr Janik is white, around 5ft 9in and slim with short dark hair and brown eyes.

He speaks with a Polish accent and was last seen wearing navy jeans and a T-shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101.
