Police search Brodie for missing man

POLICE looking for a missing Aberdeen man are undertaking a "significant search operation" in the Brodie area.

Wayne Macmillan (45) was reported missing last week after friends raised concerns. He is known to have travelled between Inverness and Aberdeen in the last week and arrived outside Brodie Countryfare on Saturday around 1pm.

Police said there has been no sightings since and Mr Macmillan has not been in touch with anyone. Specialist officers are now searching the Brodie area assisted by police dogs.

Mr Macmillan is described as being around 6ft and has a tattoo of a face on the rear of his head. He has a stud piercing under his bottom lip and both his ear lobes are stretched. When last seen he was wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers or dark blue jeans.

Detective Inspector Allen Shaw said: “Wayne has some distinctive features which we would hope that members of the public who have seen him would remember. I would urge anyone who has seen a man matching his description or if you know where he might be to please get in touch as soon as possible by contacting Police on 101 quoting missing person ref. no. MP180902922. We would also appeal to Wayne directly to get in touch if he sees this appeal – we want to ensure you are safe and well.

“I would also ask anyone who lives in the vicinity of Brodie Countryfare to check any outbuildings, garages or sheds you have incase Wayne has taken shelter. It has been a number of days since we last had a sighting of Wayne so please still get in touch even if you think your information might be too old."
