Police are concerned for the welfare of a clergyman who has gone missing from his home and may be in York.

Kenneth George Gibson, 46, went missing from his home address in Carnoustie, in Scotland, on Friday but has since apparently made three cash withdrawals in York.

His bank cards were used to withdraw money at the Spaceway Service Station on York Outer Ring Road, on Sunday and they were used to take out money in York's Parliament Street on two occasions since.

Mr Gibson is described as 5ft 8in tall, of medium build, with grey slightly spiked short hair, a fair complexion, grey/green coloured eyes and wore round gold-rimmed spectacles.

When he was last seen, Mr Gibson was wearing a black shirt with clerical collar, black trousers, black shoes and a blue duffel coat.

Shortly after leaving his home, he is known to have hired a silver-coloured Daewoo Matisse car, registration number X431 FLA.

Any sightings of Mr Gibson should be reported to either York Police Station on 01904 631321 or Tayside Police, at Forfar, on 01307 302200.
