Police officers are continuing to ask for the help of the public to trace Kevin Young two years after he was last seen in Wishaw. Kevin, 41, was last seen in the Glasgow Road area of the town on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
He is originally from Dundee and is known to have travelled between there and Wishaw by bus. From enquiries carried out, officers are aware of potential sightings of Kevin up until November 2024, when he may have travelled to Dundee. Despite continued extensive searches, no sightings have been reported since.
He is described as around 5ft 9ins tall, of medium build and has short, brown hair.
Family and police appeals
Kevin’s brother has released the following statement through Police Scotland. He said: “Someone must know something about where my brother is, or where he was last seen. I truly don’t believe that my brother would be able to stay away this long without contact to, or from, anyone. If anyone has any information at all please contact the police.”
Inspector Jim Mutter, of Wishaw Police Station added: “It is now coming close to two years since Kevin was last seen, and I have concerns for his safety and welfare. I continue to appeal to anyone who has any information about Kevin’s disappearance, whether that be since he was reported missing or from before he disappeared, to get in touch with officers.
“Kevin is from Dundee and was known to regularly visit the city, despite living in Wishaw where he was also well known. It is unusual for Kevin not to be in contact with his friends and family for such a long time and I know that his family are desperate for some information that would answer their questions on his disappearance. I would also appeal to Kevin, if you are reading this, please contact Police or your family.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 0786 of Sunday, 5 January 2025.
