POLICE are becoming increasingly concerned about a family man missing since Thursday.
David Mallin, 42, was last seen leaving Tesco Express on Main Street, Kilwinning, at around 4.10pm.
He is said to spend most of his time at home with his partner but has not returned home or been in touch with his family.
Inspector Stuart McVean at Irvine Police Office is appealing for information.
He said: "Whilst we know that David was last seen about 4.10pm on Thursday, February 5, 2015 leaving Tesco Express in Main Street, Kilwinning.
"We do not actually know where he went afterwards.
"We know that he frequents the walkways and footpaths running along the River Garnock in Kilwinning.
"We are conducting extensive enquiries in the local area in our continuing efforts to find David, including reviewing CCTV footage.
"I would ask that anyone who knows where David is or who has seen someone fitting his description to contact Irvine Police Office on 101.
"I would also ask David himself to contact police to let us know that he is safe and well.
"His family are very concerned about him and want him to come home."
David is described as white, 5ft 6in height, slim build and short dark hair.
He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and a green hoody with a Brtish bull dog design on the front.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
