On Wednesday December 30, two 29-year-old men were arrested then released pending more enquiries linked with the mystery disappearance of Stirlingshire man Tony Parsons.
The 63-year-old had boarded a train to Fort William on September 29 2017 and was last seen later that night cycling south on the A82 outside the Bridge of Orchy Hotel, in the direction of Tyndrum.
At the time he was wearing a red waterproof jacket, a blue long-sleeved cycling top, a high-vis vest, fingerless gloves with beige combat trousers and walking boots. He was also wearing a silver and grey cycling helmet, carrying a silver and blue rucksack and riding a yellow-framed bike with black handlebars.
A police spokesperson said: ‘We can confirm that on Wednesday December 30 2020, two men, both aged 29, were arrested and then released pending further enquiries in connection with the disappearance of Anthony Parsons, who was reported missing in September 2017. Enquiries are ongoing.’
Police activity was spotted last week near a farmhouse in Bridge of Orchy.
