Hunt for missing Cliff Steel

Police have appealed for help in tracing a Colinton man who has gone missing.

Cliff Steel, 37, failed to return to his home on Wednesday.

He was last seen at 6pm on the same day at his work in Sainsbury’s at Straiton Retail Park.

He is described as being white, 5ft 8ins tall, of thin build, with short blonde hair and an unshaven complexion and is missing his upper front teeth.

He was wearing a green Bench jacket, a dark blue beanie hat and a Sainsbury’s high-vis jacket, a maroon fleece, with black trousers and was carrying a very small blue rucksack.

Sergeant Jeremy Pullar said it was “very unusual” for Mr Steel not to have made contact with anyone.

He said: “We are appealing for anyone who may have seen Cliff since last night, or who may know where he is, to contact us as a matter of urgency by calling 101.”
