Stuart Campbell: Increased police presence in Wester Hailes as concerns grow for missing man

Officers in Edinburgh have confirmed there will be an increased police presence in the Wester Hailes area of Edinburgh as the search continues for missing man Stuart Campbell.

Concerns are growing for the 36-year-old who was last seen in the Barn Park area of Wester Hailes at around 4pm on Tuesday, March 22, 2022.

Mr Campbell is roughly 5ft 10in tall and has short brown hair. When last seen he was wearing a dark-coloured jacket, a green hooded top with white ties and grey jogging bottoms.

While he hasn’t been heard from by any of his family or friends since we went missing, police have confirmed he is known to have links to the Oxgangs area.

Chief Inspector Mark Hamilton, Area Commander for South West Edinburgh, said: “Stuart has not contacted friends or family since he was last seen, and we don’t believe he has access to a mobile phone.

“We are asking people in the local area to check garages, sheds, outhouses for any sign of Stuart and urge anyone who thinks they may have seen him since Tuesday 22 March 2022 to please get in touch with us.

“We would also like people to check CCTV and dash-cam footage from the time he was last seen."
