UPDATE: Emam Bashir has now been traced - police have confirmed.
POLICE are seeking the public's help in tracing a teenager reported missing from Ayrshire.
Emam Bashir has been reported missing from the Dunlop area and was last seen almost three days ago, on Tuesday, May 13.
The 14-year-old was known to be at Stewarton railway station where he boarded the 8.06pm train to Glasgow Central.
When the train arrived around half an hour later, he was noted to be heading towards the Union Street area of the city.
Emam is described as black African, around five feet and nine inches tall, of a slim build with black dreadlocks and brown eyes.
He can speak English and Sudanese Arabic, and was last seen wearing a teal hooded puffer jacket, grey Nike slim-fit tracksuit bottoms, black Nike Air Force trainers and is believed to be in possession of a mobile phone.
A Police Scotland spokesperson added: "Extensive enquiries are underway which have so far revealed that Emam has recently moved to Scotland and had indicated an interest in travelling by train to meet African/Sudanese male friends in Glasgow.
"Emam has extensive knowledge of the London area, where there is suggestion he may be intent on travelling there.
"Anyone with information is asked to call the police non-emergency number, 101."
