AIR, sea and land searches are under way for a couple whose car was found washed up on a beach amid bad weather.
James and Susan Kenneavy's Ford Kuga, registration SJ15UKX, was found empty on Drummore beach near Stranraer in south-west Scotland at around 7.30am on Thursday.
Heavy rain had led to flooding on Drummore coastal road on Wednesday and search teams worked into the night on Thursday looking for the couple.
Officers said they have not been seen at home and have not been in touch with family.
Searches involving coastguard rescue teams, helicopter and police resumed on Friday morning.
Inspector Craig Nicolson, of Dumfries and Galloway Police, said: "We are very worried about Mr and Mrs Kenneavy.
"We know the Drummore coastal road was closed last night due to coastal flooding, but I would ask anyone who saw the vehicle or knows the whereabouts of the couple to contact Police Scotland."
Anyone with information is asked to phone 101 quoting incident number 0474 - November 29 2018.
