Re-appeal to help trace man almost three weeks after he was last seen in Stirling

Officers are re-appealing for information almost three weeks after Yuxin Cao was last seen in Stirling.

Yuxin Cao, 22, was last seen between 7-9pm on Tuesday, 2 September 2025, in the top car park at Dumyat Hill near Stirling.

He is described as 5ft 8ins tall, of medium build with short black hair. When last seen he was wearing dark clothing, including a hooded top and may have a green bag

Extensive enquiries are ongoing, and local officers are being supported by the Ochil Mountain Rescue Team, air support and the dog unit.

Inspector Emma Patrick said: “It has now been almost three weeks since Yuxin was last seen, and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen him to get in touch with officers.

“We know that Dumyat Hill is a busy place for walkers and would ask anyone who was in the area on Tuesday, 2 September, to review their dash-cam footage and see if it has captured any footage featuring a person who matches the description.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1260 of 3 September 2025.”
