A body has been found in the search for a missing 24-year-old man in Scotland.

Police said a man’s body was found in the water in the Gregness area of Cove, Aberdeen, at around 12.30pm on Thursday.

Formal identification has still to take place but the family of Umar Khan, 24, have been informed.

A spokesman for Police Scotland: “The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

Police had appealed for anyone who saw him on the bus or in the Aberdeen area to contact them.
