North Shore Police are appealing to the public for information on the whereabouts of a young teenage girl, who is reported missing from her family home in Browns Bay.
Cheyenne JOYCE-HARDING is aged 15 years. She was last seen at 10.30pm on Monday 2 April 2007 in the company of numerous friends who were riding in a white Mitsubishi FTO. The group was departing the Browns Bay address. Since this time nobody has sighted or heard from the girl.
Youth Aid Officer Constable Scott NORRIS says Police have concerns for the safety and whereabouts of this missing female. She has gone missing before. On the last occasion she was missing for 42 days and was eventually located in South Auckland.
"Cheyenne lives with her mother and although she may have simply decided to go and stay with friends, we need to know where she is. Her safety, welfare and well being are a priority for Police. Our current enquiries are centred on the South Auckland area," he said.
Police have issued a description of the missing girl.
JOYCE - HARDING / Cheyenne
Female - Maori

"Cheyenne is a young teenager and at 15 years of age she is still vulnerable. Police need to hear from her or any friends or associates who know of her present whereabouts. She may like to call us in confidence to discuss any concerns she has."
"Our immediate and primary interest is to see that she is in safe, and in good health. We believe Cheyenne could possibly be in the company of a 34 year old Maori male -John PAPAROA [aka Hone]," Constable NORRIS said.
