RE-APPEAL FOR INFORMATION
MISSING MAN GREGOR GIBBONS
Officers carrying out extensive enquiries to trace 32-year-old Gregor Gibbons, who has been missing from his home in the Springburn area of Glasgow, are re-appealing for any information on his whereabouts and issuing a further CCTV image two weeks on from when he was last seen.
The CCTV image was taken at 10.20pm on Tuesday 2 July 2019 and shows Gregor walking eastbound on the Forth and Clyde Canal path at Twechar Bridge in Kilsyth. Officers are carrying out enquiries in that area today, and searches are being carried out in the canal by the Dive and Marine Unit. Officers are keen to speak to anyone who was on the path that evening who may remember seeing Gregor.
Following our previous appeals, a number of people reported seeing Gregor walking on the canal path between 8pm and 10pm on Tuesday 2nd July. The sightings were at Bishopbriggs heading towards Kilsyth and in the Twechar area of the path. He is also seen on CCTV near to the Auchinstarry Marina in Kilsyth around 10.50pm the same night. There have been further unconfirmed sightings in the Falkirk area and officers are liaising with their colleagues in Forth Valley Division regarding these.
Gregor is described as white, around 5ft 5 inches in height and of slim build with very short dark hair. When he was last seen he was wearing a black Nike hooded top, black shorts and black trainers.
Chief Inspector Scott McCarren of Maryhill Police Office said: “We are extremely concerned for Gregor as he has never been missing before and there are no confirmed sightings of him since Tuesday 2nd July. Gregor’s family are absolutely devastated by his disappearance as it is completely out of character for him not to keep in contact with his family and friends.
“Local officers carried out a stop and speak operation on the canal path near to Twechar Bridge last night which was exactly two weeks on from when he was last seen there
“Since Gregor was reported missing, we have been doing everything we can to find him. We have followed up a number of sightings that have been reported and spoken to people in each of the areas where he was seen. We’ve also gathered and viewed hours of CCTV footage to date. Officers have been assisted by specialist search advisors, the Dive and Marine Unit, and the dog unit throughout this enquiry.
“I would again appeal to anyone who has any information about Gregor to contact Maryhill Police Station through 101 quoting incident number 0119 of 3 July 2019.
