Concerns grow for missing man

Timothy Gary Donald.

Police have concerns for a man who has been missing for more than a week.

Timothy Gary Donald, 32, was last heard from at 9am on October 15, when he sent a text message to his employer to say he was not coming to work.

A number of people have since come forward with information, however he has not yet been located and police say they are concerned for his welfare.

It had been established Mr Donald spent the weekend in Golden Bay, however it was not known if he is still in that area.

Mr Donald had been staying at a lodge in Kaiteriteri, having moved to the Tasman area recently from Queenstown.

He is described as European, 185cm in height and of a medium build. He is 32 years of age and has light brown hair. It was not known what clothing he is wearing.

He was driving a silver Mitsubishi SE Saloon registration YX5539.

Motueka police Detective John Nicholls said he had received a number of calls from people who had recognised Mr Donald or had contact with him in recent days.

"We know where he has been, but we are still to locate him so I would appreciate a call from anyone who sees him or his vehicle."

Anyone with information was asked to contact Mr Nicholls on 03 528 1220 or 021 1915606.
