Central District Police are widening their investigation into the disappearance of Levin man, Palmiro MacDonald.
“Police are taking a number of active steps to seek information about Palmiro’s disappearance to assist in building a picture of exactly what has happened to him,” says Detective Inspector Ross McKay.
“We are very concerned about his wellbeing given the time since he was last seen, the lack of contact from him and rumours which we are aware are circulating in the community.
“We are keeping an open mind at this stage about what might have happened to Palmiro, however we can’t rule out the possibility of a sinister element in his disappearance.
“We are applying a major investigation structure to our inquiries as we take active steps to seek the information we need.”
“The objective right now is to find Palmiro and get answers for his family.” Said Mr McKay
Police are asking anyone with information to contact Central District Police on 0800 677 256.
Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously via the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
