Police are looking for a 14-year-old boy who has not been seen since July.
Paora Peachey is a male Maori, about 1.7m tall and of medium build and has short dark hair. He was last seen in Henderson, Auckland on 19 July and has not made contact with or returned to his caregivers.
Paora could be in the Auckland area or he could have returned to his home town of Gisborne. Police and his family have concerns for his safety due to the length of time he has been missing. He has run away previously but never for more than a few days, so this disappearance is out of character for him.
If you have seen Paora or if you know where he is, contact your nearest police station or information can be left anonymously on Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
