A Firetrap jacket and set of keys found near the River Tay could help police find a man last seen swimming fully clothed in the water.

A search operation which began on Monday evening is still under way and police are appealing for help to identify and locate the man.

Two lifeboats and a rescue helicopter joined the hunt in the Stannergate area after a member of the public raised the alarm just before 6pm on Monday.

The man is described as being in his 40s, white and has a beard. He was wearing a red T-shirt, a black jacket, dark trousers and Converse trainers.

Chief Inspector Ian Scott said: "I would appeal to any members of the public who knows someone that matches the description of the man seen to come forward to assist us with enquiries.

"We have recovered a black jacket and a set of Ford car keys, so the man may have access to a Ford vehicle.

"Officers are continuing with searches today and the Police Scotland helicopter is expected to attend in the area to assist with searching.

"I would also appeal to the man in question to contact us to let us know if he is safe and well."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
