Police search for missing Lower Hutt man

Police are urgently trying to find a Lower Hutt man who has been missing for three weeks.

Nigel Doran, 29, last spoke to his family on April 20 and is believed to have been moving around the Wellington area and staying in his vehicle; a white Holden Rodeo, registration DPG245, with Firestone written on the side.

Detective Sergeant Steve Harwood said Mr Doran, who suffered from depression, was thought to have been moving around the Hutt Valley and had been visiting his father's work.

The urgency to find Mr Doran increased after he left a worrying note there for his father to find this morning, Mr Harwood said.

Mr Doran is Caucasian of medium build, dark hair and is 1.77m tall.
