Police turn to Scotland in hunt for missing Lancashire man

John McCann: Information should be passed to Strathclyde Police.

A man who has gone missing from his home in England could be in the Blantyre area of Scotland.

John McCann was last seen by his wife at their home in Great Harwood, Blackburn on Friday evening.

Lancashire Constabulary said the 47-year-old's disappearance was "out of character".

Mr McCann is white, 5ft 8in in height, of slim build, and with short grey hair. He has a distinctive small brown mark near his right eye and a tattoo on his upper arm which reads: "Mum and Dad".

He is known to have family connections in the Blantyre area of Lanarkshire.

PC Vicky Wilson said: "It is out of character for John not to be in contact with his wife and family and we would appeal to anybody that knows of John's whereabouts or for John himself to contact police or his family and let us know he is safe."

Anyone with information should contact Strathclyde Police on 0141 532 2000.
