At approximately 13:00 this afternoon at Central Park adjacent to Dyce Primary School about half of a mile away from Dyce Academy, a 2-year-old boy with severe learning difficulties was threatened with violence by a man who is described as in his 30's.

The 2-year-old was with his elder brother, 15, was out enjoying the park when a man approached the infant threatening to "batter" him as he allegedly hit the man's daughter.

The toddler who was threatened, as mentioned, has severe learning difficulties thus meaning he could not have assaulted anyone and thankfully his older brother was there to remove the threatened boy, taking him to safety.

Both brothers rushed to the family home to inform their mother who, obviously, is in a state of alarm and took to Dyce Community on Facebook to let her fellow residents and neighbours be aware of the incident.

The man is described as:

Medium length dark hair.

His daughter is described as:

Roughly 2-years-old.
With red hair.

SCOTTISH POLICE OFFICIALLY INITIATE SEARCH FOR MISSING BUCKIE MAN | INFORMING BRITAIN

15/1/2019

Comments

Officers in Buckie are ongoing with efforts to trace missing person, Alan Morrison, who was last seen on Christmas Eve (2018).

The 47-year-old was reported missing to Police Scotland on Friday 11 January 2019, after his family raised concerns they had not seen or heard from him in more than two weeks.

Enquiries have been ongoing in the vicinity of his home at Lawson Place to establish his last movements, with searches also launched in the area by specialist teams.

Detective Inspector Norman Stevenson said:

“To help with our searches I’m asking people who live in Buckie to check their gardens, sheds and any outbuildings to make sure that Alan hasn’t taken shelter. In addition if you are out walking in the area please keep an eye out for any sign of activity. Searches will be carried out by specialist teams in particular focusing on the Burn Of Buckie, however simple checks and vigilance could help us greatly. All I ask is that you don’t put yourself in any danger.”

DI Stevenson added:

"It has been more than three weeks now since Alan was last seen and we have yet to receive any positive sightings of him since Christmas Eve. It is extremely concerning that he wasn’t in touch with his family over the festive period, in particular Christmas Day, and as more time passes our concerns for him understandably grow."

“Alan was last seen at his home on Christmas Eve but wasn’t there when his family checked on him on Christmas Day therefore he must have left that night. Did you see him that evening? Or do you have dash-cam footage of the area which may have captured him? I appreciate this footage may be wiped by now but if you do have information which could assist please let us know.”

Alan is described as being around 5 foot 9 inches in height, of a medium build with short dark and grey receding hair and a beard.

It is believed he is to be wearing black Adidas Samba trainers, a long-sleeved dark T-shirt, a navy padded jacket and could also be wearing a beanie hat and gloves.

He is also a heavy smoker.

Anyone with information should call Police on 101 quoting ref. no. 2636 of Friday 11 January 2019.
