Police in the North East are re-appealing for the assistance of the public in tracing 45-year-old Mark Russell, who is missing from his home in Crimond.

Mark was last seen in Crimond on the afternoon of Saturday 24 July and he has not been in contact with his family and friends for some time which is described as out of character for him.

He was reported missing to police on Wednesday 28 July.

He is described as white, 5ft 11ins in height and of medium build with short, brown hair. He has a piercing to his left eyebrow, tattoos on both arms and has both ears pierced.

Chief Inspector Jamie Harrison, Area Commander for North Aberdeenshire said: “As time passes, we are becoming increasingly concerned for Mark’s safety and wellbeing.

"Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries and searches to trace him in and around the Crimond area, however we have not yet managed to locate him. Local officers have been assisted by specialist search advisors.

“We have received details of other potential sightings of Mark which we are working to establish if they are indeed him. We know that he has close links to the Peterhead area and we have been liaising with our colleagues in that area to establish if he has travelled there.

“I would urge anyone with any information regarding Mark’s whereabouts, or anyone who has seen him to contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 1960 of 28 July.”
