A new sighting has been confirmed of a man who disappeared from Fife on New Year's Day. Scott McLaren left his home in the Dollar Crescent area of Kirkcaldy around midday on Sunday, January 1.
The 36-year-old is believed to have been driving a white Ford Mondeo taxi, registration DA13 CAB, emblazoned with JJ’s taxi in black on the side of vehicle.
Officers have now released images of the taxi and a CCTV image of Scott taken at around 9am on Tuesday, January 3 in the Coatbridge area, as the search for him pushes on.
It is believed that Scott has since travelled north in the direction of Stirling, as he has connections to Perth, Stirling and the Falls of Bruar near Pitlochry.
Scott is around 5ft 11in tall, grey short hair and of medium build. He is last known to have been wearing a burgundy Next hooded top, black Adidas tracksuit bottoms and black Adidas trainers.
Cops want to hear from anyone with any information on Scott's whereabouts.
Sergeant Gordon Stanford said: “We would urge anyone who believes they may have seen Scott or his vehicle to get in touch with us as soon as you can.
“We are working to establish his movements after leaving his home in Kirkcaldy and any sightings of Scott or the taxi could help us do that.
“Enquiries so far have established that Scott has connections to Perth, Stirling and the Falls of Bruar near Pitlochry and may have travelled to those areas.
“If you can help please call 101, quoting reference 3673 of 1 January, 2023.”
