Concerns are growing for an Edinburgh man who went missing more than two months ago.

Michal Oraczewski, 33, from Wester Hailes, was reported missing to police after suggesting to friends that he was going to work in Glasgow.

He has not been spotted since July 6 and police are now asking anyone who may have worked with him during the summer to come forward with any information about his whereabouts.

The white 6ft tall man of slim build was reported missing on September 3 and officers are “getting increasingly concerned for his welfare”.

Police have undertaken an “extensive” search of in the South West of the city but have so far been unable to locate Mr Oraczewski.

They said it is not uncommon for Mr Oraczewski, whose first language is Polish but speaks fluent English, not be in regular contact with people he knows.

He has undertaken contract cleaning work in the past and was last seen he was wearing dark blue jeans and a navy blue t-shirt.

Inspector Paul Begley said: “Over the past two weeks we have conducted extensive enquiries in the Wester Hailes and surrounding areas in efforts to trace Michal.

“I’m asking anyone who knows Michal, who may have seen him since July, or has any information on where he may be, to please get in touch.
