Man missing from Papay

Police are looking to trace a man last seen in Papa Westray a week ago.

Sergei Ivanov, 55, was last seen about 10am on Monday, April 3, and has not been seen since.

According to a spokesman, there is concern for Mr Ivanov’s welfare so anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101.

Today, Monday, Kirkwall Lifeboat was launched to assist in the search on the east coast of Papay.

The lifeboat also took out coastguard teams from Kirkwall and St Margaret’s Hope, who will join teams from Westray and Sanday in a land search on the island.
