Police are re-appealing for information to help trace Mr Machalski who has been reported missing from his home in the Craigentinny area of Edinburgh.

It has now been over one week since Mr Machalski was last seen in Edinburgh and concerns are growing for his welfare.

There was a possible sighting of him about 12pm on Monday, December 14, in the Restalrig area but this hasn’t been confirmed and Mr Machalski has not been seen or heard of since.

He is described as around 5ft 10ins tall, with fair blonde hair that is often shaved.

“I would urge anyone who may have seen him to contact us immediately.

"Similarly, if Lukasz is reading this, let us know you are safe and well.”
