Stuart Munro, aged 15, was last seen in the Meadowmill area of Tranent around 1.35am on Tuesday, 12 March, 2024. He is around 5ft 6 inches in height, with a medium build and short brown hair. When last seen, he was wearing a green tracksuit, black body warmer and an orange hat.

Officers believe the teens are together and enquiries carried out have established the last confirmed sighting of both males was around 2pm in the Prestonpans area yesterday. 

There is a possibility they may have travelled to Edinburgh.
