CONCERNS are mounting for the welfare of a young man missing from England who has travelled to Glasgow.
Umar Khan, 24, who has links to Leicester and London, is believed to have boarded a FlixBus from Glasgow to Aberdeen.
If he got on the bus, it would have arrived in Aberdeen at around 2.50pm on Tuesday, August 23.
He is also believed to have been on the Torry to Cove coast road and path around 2pm on Thursday, August 25, near Doonies Farm.

Umar is described as being of slim build with dark hair, and when last seen he was wearing a light-coloured hoodie, blue jeans and white trainers.
He also had a white jacket and was carrying a black rucksack.
Officers searching for Umar are urging anyone who was on the FlixBus service to get in touch if they have any information which could help trace him.
Inspector George Nixon said: “Extensive searches are ongoing to find Umar who has links to both Leicester and London but no known connections in the Aberdeenshire area.
"Concern for his welfare is increasing.
“I would ask anyone who was on the Flixbus Service from Glasgow that arrived in Aberdeen on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 23, and saw or talked to Umar to get in touch as you may have information that can help with our enquiries.
"We are keen to find out where he went after arriving in the city.
“We believe he was in the area of the coast road and path between Torry and Cove and are keen to speak to anyone walking or driving in that area between around 11am on Thursday, August 25, and 2pm that day."
Cops are also concerned as Umar has no connections to the area he is believed to be in.
Inspector Nixon added: “In addition, given that Umar has no known links to the Aberdeenshire area, I am also asking anyone who knows Umar to get in touch.
"It is vital that we find out if he may have travelled on to another part of Scotland or to England. We just want to make sure he is safe and well.
“Our enquiries to find him are ongoing and officers will be around the coast road area.
"If you have any information that could assist please speak to them or call us on 101, quoting reference number 1893 of Thursday, August 25, 2022.”
