Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of a missing 15-year-old.

Ibrahim Njie, 15, was last seen in Hay Gardens and has been missing for a 'significant time' and officers are becoming concerned for his welfare.

With family connections in Edinburgh and Aberdeen it is believed he may still be in the capital. The 15 year-old is described as being 5ft 6 inches tall and of medium build.

Inspector Stewart Massie said: "We are growing increasingly worried for his welfare.

“He has friends and family in Edinburgh and Aberdeen but it’s believed he may still be in the Edinburgh area.

“Anyone with any information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 1526 of 2 November, 2024.”
