Thomas Malone was last seen on Saturday (December 1st), when he visited his grandfather in Craigmillar Castle Road. He hasn't been seen by his family since.

He failed to attend school yesterday, and was missing from class again today (Tuesday).

When last seen, he was wearing a black and cream zip-up top with a Celtic FC crest, navy tracksuit bottoms, and black trainers.

A police spokesman said: 'Thomas hasn't been seen since the weekend, and we are very concerned for his safety, particularly due to his young age.

'We believe that he could be in the Craigmillar area, as he still has friends and family there.

'Anyone who has information regarding his whereabouts, or who has seen Thomas since he went missing, should contact police immediately.'
