Frantic search for missing busker 'last seen with speaker and microphone'
Lewis Cuthbert, 25, has not been seen since 4pm on Monday, August 4. A frantic search is underway to trace a Scots busker who has been missing for nearly two weeks. Lewis Cuthbert, 25, has not been seen since 4pm on Monday, August 4. The last sighting of Lewis was in the Lesmahagow Road area of Strathaven in South Lanarkshire. He was reported missing to police on Friday, August 8. Officers say it's unusual for him to be out of contact with his family. Lewis is described as around 5ft 10ins, of a slim build and with short, brown curly hair. When last seen, he was wearing a brown jacket with a collar, dark coloured rolled up jeans and brown dress shoes. Lewis is known to go to Glasgow city centre to busk. He was also carrying a black backpack, a Bluetooth speaker and a microphone at the time of his disappearance. He also goes for walks in the countryside around Strathaven. Inspector Billy Sloan said: 'It is unusual for Lewis to be out of contact with his family for this length of time and extensive searches and enquiries are ongoing to trace him. 'Concerns are growing for his welfare and we need to make sure he is safe and well so we are asking anyone who has seen him or knows where he might be to get in touch. 'If you live in the Strathaven area please keep an eye out for him and also check gardens and sheds in case he has sought shelter. 'We are also asking people to look out for him in the city centre of Glasgow as he busks.' Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1371 of Friday, 8 August, 2025.
