CONCERN is growing about a dangerous inmate who has been missing for almost a week.
Jonathan Kelly, 33, was freed from Low Moss Prison, Bishopbriggs, last month but has gone to ground after his prison licence was revoked.
Patrols have been stepped up in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow to try to find him.
Sources claim Kelly, of Carolside Drive, had a reputation for violence in prison. He has a long record of violence, including slashings and stabbings.
People have been warned not to approach him and to call 999 if he is spotted.
Detective Inspector Ian Hylands said: "I would appeal to Mr Kelly to give himself up and contact police with a view to handing himself in. Significant police inquiries are continuing to trace Mr Kelly. However, there have been no positive sightings.
"Unfortunately, we have had very little information from the public about his whereabouts."
He is described as white, about 5ft 9in, with short brown hair and of a heavy build.
