Inspector Mike Bennett at Galashiels said: “Concerns are being expressed for the welfare of Richard and we are carrying our numerous inquiries in an effort to trace him.

“I would appeal to anyone who may have seen Richard, or his car, today, to get in touch with police at Galashiels on the 101 number, and quote the reference 0873 9/9.

“I would also ask Richard himself to call his family or police to let them know where he is and that he is all right.”
