A 12-year-old boy has gone missing from his Edinburgh home, sparking a police appeal.

Arin Tuncay was last seen on Stenhouse Crescent on Friday at around 9am.

Officers say they are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

Arin is of Turkish origin, around 5ft 5in with a muscular build.

He was last seen wearing a black hooded top with white writing on the front and black tracksuit bottoms. He is believed to be wearing a Scotland football top underneath.

Inspector James Sinclair of Corstorphine Police Station said: "Arin has now not been seen for a number of hours and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

"Anyone who knows where Arin is, or recognises his description, is asked to contact us immediately.

"I would also ask Arin if he does see this message to come home or get in touch with either his family or police to let us know he's safe."

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