Laura Singh, the 34 year-old mother of three who had been missing from her Greenlane home since Monday evening, was located in Wellsford north of Auckland at about 1pm today and is in the process of being reunited with her family.
Police were notified of her whereabouts shortly after 1pm and made arrangements with employees of the business she presented at, to have photographs sent to investigating officers to confirm she was the woman at the centre of the search.
Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Newman said the fact that Laura is able to be reunited with her family this weekend is a fantastic end to a stressful week for all those involved in trying to find her.
"Laura will, as a matter of course, be assessed by health practitioners this afternoon and, when the time is right, we will speak with her to establish what's been going on for the past four days."
Laura's sister, Angela Kneeshaw, says the family sincerely thanks the New Zealand public, Police and the media for their help finding her and has requested privacy at this time.
Laura's vehicle has been found and secured by Police.
