Police in Dundee have brought in specialist search teams in the hunt for missing local woman Lynn McPaul.
The 45-year-old vanished from the city centre late on Sunday evening.
She was last seen on the Perth Road close to Strawberry Bank at about 11.40pm.
A Police Scotland spokesman said officers are “growing increasingly concerned” for her safety.
They confirmed extensive enquiries have been ongoing since Lynn was reported missing and that members of the public will have noticed an increased police presence within the community.
They revealed that searches have also been ongoing, including support from a number of specialist police search resources.
Inspector Keith Anderson of Downfield Police Station said that sadly these have proved unsuccessful and Lynn remains missing.
He explained: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Lynn the longer she remains missing.
“It is out of character for her not to be in touch with anyone for this long. We are keeping her family fully informed as enquiries progress.
“We are continuing to work to establish Lynn’s movements since she was last seen and I would urge anyone who may have seen her at any time since late on Sunday evening or who has any other information at all to get in touch urgently.
“We also urge anyone who lives around the Strawberry Bank, Richmond Terrace and Magdalen Green area who may have dashcam, private CCTV or doorbell camera footage to review this and pass on anything of note to us.
“Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting reference number 0157 of 24 January, 2022.”
Lynn is described as white, around 4ft 11in tall and of slim build with shoulder length dark brown hair.
When last seen she was wearing a black knee-length coat with a white Nike logo on the back, and distinctive white Nike Air Force One trainers.
