CONCERN is growing over the whereabouts of a missing 22-year-old woman.

Sarah McMillan, from Johnstone, was last seen around 9pm on Sunday at Barrhead Road close to Grahamston Road.

She is described as white, around 5ft 4ins, slim build and with straight brown hair which sits around her shoulders.

Police say it is not clear what she was wearing at that time.

Sergeant David Edington, Johnstone Police Station, said: "Sarah has been missing on previous occasions. Sarah contacted her family on Monday afternoon but they have had no further contact since yesterday. Her family are becoming increasingly concerned at this time.

"Officers are currently checking CCTV and searching the local area. We have been engaging with local businesses and transport operators to help trace Sarah safe and well.

"I would ask that anyone who has seen her, or who has any information about her whereabouts, please contact officers at Johnstone Police Station via 101.

"I would also appeal directly to Sarah. Your family are anxious and the police are trying to establish if you are okay. Call your family or the police and let us know that you are safe and well."
