Police have launched a hunt for a missing man who has been classed as “dangerous”.

Grant McKinnon disappeared around 4am on Saturday, April 18. The 30-year-old was last seen around the Cardowan Road area of Glasgow, the same time police were called to the “suspicious” death of a woman in the area.

Police Scotland have not confirmed if the two incidents are linked.

He was last sighted wearing a black jacket with a red hood, or red hood lining, and blue jeans. Mr McKinnon has been described as white, 6ft tall in height, of slim build and with a shaved head.

Police Scotland released an appeal to help trace the man this evening in which officers labelled him “dangerous”. The force has asked the public not to approach him and to contact the police immediately.

Detective Superintendent Gary Ferguson said: “Grant is considered to be dangerous and I’m appealing for information from the public to help us trace him as soon as possible.

“If anyone sees Grant, they should not approach him but contact police immediately.”
