Officers are growing increasingly concerned for the 15-year-old's welfare. Josh is described as 5ft 8in tall, white, of slim build and with short brown hair.

He is thought to be wearing a black French Connection jacket with royal blue Lacoste tracksuit bottoms and black Nike trainers. Josh has links to Paisley, Greenock and Glasgow city centre, and he might have travelled by bus or train.
