Appeal to trace Guy Bargery, 60, missing from Edinburgh
Police Scotland are asking for the help of the public to trace a 60-year-old man reported missing from Edinburgh.
Guy Bargery was last seen around 9:15am on Monday, 27 January in the Dundas Strees area of the city.
He is described as white, around 5ft 9ins tall, of medium build and with grey/white hair.
When last seen, Guy was wearing a checked green and cream shirt, denim jeans, a beige jacket and is believed to have been wearing black trainers.
He may be driving his grey Volvo XC60 with registration SK13 VPZ, and travelled to the Fife area.
Inspector Jonathan Wilson said: “It is important that we make sure Guy is safe and well, as there are growing concerns for his welfare.
“We urge anyone who has seen Guy, his car, or has any information on his whereabouts to please contact us as soon as possible.”
Police seeking information after serious assault in Broxburn
Police are appealing for information after a man was attacked and seriously injured in front of his partner and child in Broxburn, West Lothian.
Around 7:30pm on Monday, 27 January a 37-year-old man was confronted by four men armed with weapons in a house in Cardross Avenue in the small town.
He was assaulted, dragged from the house into the driveway and further attacked, causing serious injury.
The suspects then fled into a white or silver van and drove off towards Cardross Road.
The injured man was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he was treated for serious injuries.
His partner and child were not injured during the incident, but were reportedly left very frightened by what happened.
Detective sergeant Tony Gilhooley, Livingston CID, said: “The fact that the suspects knew the child was in the house but continued with this vicious attack is abhorrent and it is imperative that we trace those responsible.
“Officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and viewing CCTV to identify the men and trace the van and I would appeal to anyone who may have seen or heard the disturbance or assault to contact police.
“We would be keen to view any dashcam or doorbell footage from the street between 7pm and 7:45pm on Monday night just in case it caught footage that would assist the investigation.
“Officers remain in the area. Information can be passed to them or via 101. Please quote incident number 3140 of Monday, 27 January when calling.
“Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be called anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
