Mikaeel Kular missing: Police search for three-year-old boy in Edinburgh Mikaeel Kular was last seen going to bed at his family's flat in Ferry Gait Crescent, Edinburgh, at around 9pm yesterday. His mother discovered he was missing from his bed at around 7.15am this morning when the family woke up. Police said there is no evidence of criminality and they are investigating several lines of inquiry. There have been no arrests or formal detentions, police confirmed. The toddler's jacket and shoes were missing from the property and police are looking into whether he may have left of his own accord. He is described as three foot, of Asian appearance and possibly wearing a beige hooded jacket, blue jogging bottoms, brown Clarks shoes and nightwear. Anyone who sees the little boy is asked to make sure he is safe and contact police immediately. Efforts are being to speak to Mikaeel's father, who is understood to be of Pakistani origin. Police Scotland Superintendent Liz McAinsh said: "There is no evidence to suggest criminality at the moment but clearly we are keeping an open mind. We're a big organisation now with Police Scotland and we are using all of the resources at our disposal to look for this three-year-old boy. Asked whether she thought Mikaeel may have left of his own accord, Ms McAinsh told reporters: "We know that his jacket and shoes are not within the property so we are following up all lines of inquiry in that regard. We don't know if he may have left of his own volition, but obviously that's one line of inquiry we are following up. She added police will follow all lines of inquiry, including those surrounding custody issues, but said "there are no concerns that we have at the moment." As you can imagine, Mikaeel's mother is distraught. She just wants our help and the public's help in finding her little boy. Ms McAinsh stressed the search focus remains in Edinburgh, in the Drylaw area, with a focus on Pennywell and Muirhouse. People are being urged to keep an eye out for the little boy. Coastguard teams and lifeboats have been searching the shoreline in the Cramond and Drylaw area. Mikaeel, who is British with Asian parents, was at home with his mother and four siblings, including his twin sister, last night. Police asked local residents to look in their homes, gardens, outbuildings and buckets, and to keep an eye out for Mikaeel in the area and in parks. Temperatures overnight in Edinburgh dropped to 2.3C (36F) by 4am, according to the Met Office. Ms McAinsh said family members who were in the house are distraught. She added: "Clearly, as everybody out there will be able to relate to, his mother is distraught and she's trying to give us all the information she can to help us in our inquiry. We are providing her with all the support that we can through that experience and just trying as best we can with all the resources we have at our disposal to find him safe and well. The youngster attends a local nursery and Ms McAinsh said: "They say Mikaeel is a friendly, playful wee boy and they are obviously concerned for his safety as well and will do everything they can to help us in finding Mikaeel."
