Officers are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and enquiries have been ongoing to trace Kyle since he was first reported as missing.

Police are now asking the public for their assistance and asking for anyone who might have seen a man matching Kyle’s description to get in touch.

Kyle is described as a white male, around 6ft 1in, with short brown hair and neck tattoos which say “Nanna, Mam and Kyle.” He has a small scar on his left cheek underneath his eye which reaches the top of his ear and was last seen wearing a grey tracksuit, black North Face jacket and black trainers.
