Photo of missing man released

Christchurch Police have released a photo of a 55-year old Christchurch man missing since last Friday.

Police have concerns for the wellbeing of Peter John Crowther, aged 55, who was last seen at about 5pm on Friday [14 June] at his workplace in Addington.

Police say he has not been in contact with family in that time, and his disappearance is out of character.

Crowther is described as a Caucasian, of solid build, about 160cm (5ft 3in) tall, with short grey hair, brown eyes and a distinctively large nose.

He is believed to be driving a 1996 Green Mitsubishi Galant, registration number UJ8610, and may be in the North Canterbury or West Coast areas.

Anyone who has seen or has information as to the whereabouts of Mr Crowther or the Mitsubishi vehicle is asked to contact the Christchurch Police on (03) 3637400.
