Missing Takapuna man found safe and well

A man missing from Auckland's North Shore since Wednesday has been found safe and well.

Leon Sanders, 35, has been found at his home address after he went missing for several days. He was last spotted speaking to an associate at the Takapuna Bar on the corner of Hurstmere Rd and Anzac St in Takapuna about 10am on Wednesday.

Police were concerned because some of Mr Sanders' gear was left at Takapuna beach, including his wallet containing money and bank cards.

Mr Sanders, a South African-born man of European ethnicity, had his wallet returned to him around lunchtime on Friday.
