Concerns are growing for a missing man from Glasgow, who Police believe may be in Perth.

39-year-old Michael Sheldon was last seen at an address in Thornwood Drive in Glasgow around 6.50am on Tuesday morning.

Enquiries have established he got off a train at Perth Railway Station at 1.07pm later that day.

Just after 1 o'clock that afternoon he got off a train at Perth Railway Station and had not been seen since.

Mr Sheldon has links to both Perth and the west end of Glasgow.

He is described as 5ft 11 inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes and is believed to be wearing a checked shirt, green and black jacket, dark-coloured walking boots and trousers, and carrying a rucksack.

Sergeant Eric McNaught said: “This behaviour is unlike Michael and we are eager to trace him as soon as possible.

“I’d ask anyone who has seen him, or a man matching his description, to report any sighting to officers so that we can investigate.

“I would ask anyone with dash cam or private CCTV systems from the area where Michael was last seen to check their systems and provide any relevant footage to us as soon as possible so we can piece together his movements from Perth railway station.”

Those with information should contact Police Scotland via 101 and quote incident number 3346 of 21 March 2023.
