Police are hunting a former prisoner who has not been seen since July last year.

Alexander Muir breached the terms of his licence after being released from HMP Low Moss.

The 29-year-old is now believed to be in the Ayrshire area, and officers have carried out extensive enquiries in a number of locations.

He is described as white, 5ft 10 inches in height and of slim build with red hair.

Constable Tony Dooner of Saltcoats Police Office said: “We are issuing a further image of Muir and are re-appealing to the public for any assistance they can provide us in tracing Alexander Muir.

“Again we would urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact officers at Saltcoats via 101."
