Police in Fife have appealed for help in the search for a 17-year-old boy missing since the early hours of Sunday.
A police helicopter was drafted in this morning to assist in the hunt for Dylan McIndoe, who has not been seen since he left a family barbecue in Buckhaven.
He was apparently intending to walk from the house in Brady Crescent to his home in Kirkcaldy but never arrived at his destination.
Inspector Donald Jenks, who is leading the inquiry, said: “Our enquiries are at an early stage but it would appear that Dylan has left the barbecue after a minor argument.
“He was last seen near to the Buck and Hynd pub on Methilhaven Road, Buckhaven, apparently heading home to Kirkcaldy.”
He added: “When he hadn’t returned home by Sunday evening his family contacted the police.
“Our enquiries at the moment are concentrating on checking the routes he may have taken to Kirkcaldy and checking with friends and associates.
“As it is now over a day since he was last seen, we are concerned that he may have come to some harm and would ask that anyone who can help us find Dylan get in touch.”
Dylan is described as 6ft 1in, of slim muscular build with short dark brown hair and is clean shaven.
When last seen he was wearing a blue t-shirt with red and white horizontal stripes, grey jogging trousers and dark blue training shoes.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
