Police are searching for a man who gained access to hospital wards and patients' files for several weeks while pretending to be a medical student, after he failed to appear for sentencing.

Stephen Simpson previously admitted carrying out the fraud at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) between 9 December 2023 and 26 January 2024.
