Concern for the welfare of twin brothers missing for nearly four months has Northland police appealing to members of the public to help find the 10-year-old siblings.
Police took the unusual step yesterday of releasing photos of the twins as concerns for their health began to grow.
Twin brothers Hamiora and Waiariki Chapman, also known as Sam and Storm, have been missing since December last year.
Detective Inspector Kevin Burke said the brothers were removed from Child, Youth and Family care - now the Ministry for Vulnerable Children - by family members known to them.
