National appeal for missing man Jonathon Kelly

Police Scotland is issuing a nationwide appeal for information on a man missing from Drumchapel since 10 September 2014.

Jonathon Kelly (pictured in a forensic artist’s drawing) had his licence revoked after failing to comply with imposed conditions following his release from Lowmoss Prison on 21 August 2014.

Police have undertaken extensive enquiries to locate Mr Kelly, however attempts so far to trace him have proved unsuccessful. There have also been no confirmed sightings of Mr Kelly.

Officers believe he may have travelled further afield than Scotland and may be in England or Dublin. Detectives working on the inquiry are in close contact with other law enforcement agencies and partner organisations to help trace Mr Kelly.

Detectives are convinced Kelly is receiving assistance from people to evade police.

His appearance when he was last seen is white, around 5 ft 11 inches in height with short brown hair and a heavy build.   However, officers believe his appearance may have changed and he may have grown a beard.

Detective Superintendent Stephen Grant said: “We are issuing this image today with a plea to the communities across the UK for their assistance in tracing Jonathon Kelly. He has been unlawfully at large since 10 September 2014, and it is imperative that we trace him.

"A number of police officers continue to work on this inquiry with assistance by specialist colleagues from within our organisation, and we are assisted by colleagues in other law enforcement agencies across the UK.

"I would advise people not to approach him but to contact police if they see him – any sightings should be reported to police or give your information to Crimestoppers.”
