Police are searching for a man who has been missing from Inverclyde for more than a week.

Gordon McLean was last seen at 8.30am on Wednesday, December 18, in Prospecthill Street in Greenock.

However, the 39-year-old's family have not heard from him over the Christmas period and are becoming "increasingly concerned".

Mr McLean is described as 5ft 10in and has brown eyes, short brown hair and facial stubble. He normally wears glasses.

Sergeant Chris McKay said: “Gordon’s family are becoming increasing concerned that they have not heard from him over the Christmas period and say that this is completely out of character.

“I like to speak to anyone who has seen Gordon since December 18 or anyone who knows of his present whereabouts.

“I’d also urge Gordon if he reads this to get in contact with either his family or police to let us know that he is safe and well.”

If you have any information on Mr McLean's whereabouts contact police on 101.
