Police are worried about the whereabouts of a woman from Pukekohe, in rural south Auckland, who has gone missing almost 100 kilometres from home.
Ngaire Gibbons was spotted in Puhoi, on the northern edge of the region, yesterday afternoon, and police believe she thumbed a lift there.
She is 63, Maori, and about five feet three inches tall (one metre 60 centimetres) with a plump build and grey shoulder length hair.
She walks with a slight limp, and was wearing black pants with a white stripe on the side, a black jacket and black and white shoes.
Ms Gibbons has a dark blue small airline type suitcase with pullout handle and wheels with her.
