Police are appealing for information to help trace a man missing since yesterday.

Matthew Elmer was last seen in Poplar Grove, Livingston, around 6pm Saturday, February 13, 2016.

Since then the 23-year-old has not been in touch with family or friends and concern is now growing for his welfare.

Matthew is described as white with blue eyes and dark brown hair, which is short at the sides and sometimes styled on top. He is 5ft 8 inches tall of slim build.

When last seen Matthew was wearing a black jacket, black jogging trousers and white canvas laced up trainers. He has black studs in both ears and was wearing a grey woollen hat.

Inspector Marion Steele of Livingston Police Station said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for Matthew as he has not been in touch with friends or family since yesterday.

“We are asking anyone who may have seen him since yesterday at 6pm to please get in touch with us. Similarly if Matthew himself sees this appeal, we would ask him to contact his family or friends to let them know he is okay.”

Anyone with information can contact Police on 101.
