POLICE Scotland is urging members of the public to come forward with information on a man who has been missing for almost six weeks.

Andreas Zakarious Garifalou was last seen on November 23, 2018, and the force has warned that he must not be approached.

Officers have been trying to trace the 36-year-old since then and have been carrying out extensive enquiries in areas he is known to frequent.

It is believed he has links to the Townhead area of Coatbridge.

He is also known to frequent Airdrie and a number of gyms in Lanarkshire.

He is described as white, Scottish, male, 5ft 11 (180cm), brown hair, brown eyes and of medium build.

He also has a tattoo on his left arm with his name, reading “ANDREAS.”

“We are appealing for anyone who has any information regarding his whereabouts to come forward and contact us.

“We would also emphasise that, if seen, members of the public should not approach him and should contact Police Scotland on 101.”
