Police say they are "racing against the clock" to find a 75-year-old.
He went missing on Wednesday from Milton Court Rest Home in Orewa, north Auckland. He was last seen walking northbound on the Hibiscus Coast Highway near Hatfields Beach around 5pm, wearing a red and black jacket and blue jeans.
Police need to know if he had been picked up and driven to a different location, and people are asked to check their sheds and properties as he may have sought shelter.
Anyone with information is asked to urgently contact Police on 105.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
