Officers appeal again for information on missing man from Lanarkshire, Lewis Cuthbert

Ten weeks since the last sighting of Lewis Cuthbert, missing from Lanarkshire, officers are once again appealing for anyone that has information on his whereabouts.

Lewis, 25, was last seen around 4pm on Monday, 4 August, 2025, in the Lesmahagow Road area of Strathaven.

He is known to busk in Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres and is described as 5ft 10in tall, of slim build with short brown hair. He may have grown facial hair since he was last seen. He is believed to have been wearing a brown cord jacket with sheepskin collar when last seen and carrying a backpack with Bluetooth speaker and microphone.

A dedicated team of officers have been carrying out extensive enquiries in the areas he is known to visit, including Edinburgh and Glasgow.

CCTV footage has been reviewed, and over 100 homes in the Strathaven area have been visited as part of door-to-door enquiries.

Local officers are being supported by national resources, including specialist search teams, drones from the air support unit, as well as officers searching on quad bikes and using dogs.

Chief Inspector Paul Doyle, local area commander, said: “Ten weeks on since Lewis left his home, we are still doing all we can to bring him home. 

"We continue to urge the public to come forward with any information they may have. No matter how small it may seem, it may be key to helping us find him.”

Anyone who has any information should contact 101 quoting incident number 1371 of 4 August, 2025.

People can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or call or text the charity Missing People on 116 000.
