Concerns are growing for a 17-year-old boy whose car was found on fire in Fife in the early hours of the morning.
Police are searching for Matthew Milne after they received a report of car fire on the B941 between Kilconquar and Largoward at around 1am on Thursday, July 24.
While the fire was successfully put out by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, concern was raised as there were no occupants in or nearby the vehicle. Enquiries carried out so far suggest Matthew, who was the driver of the car, left the scene.

“If Matthew hears about this appeal then I urge him to contact us or his family.”
