The man is missing in the hilly coastal suburb of Eastbourne.
A search and rescue operation is under way in a Lower Hutt suburb after a man went missing in Eastbourne last night.
George Dominic, known as Niko, was last seen at the end of Muritai Rd, near Burdan’s gate about 5.30pm on Wednesday.
“Police and Mr Dominic’s family have concerns for his safety,” police said in a statement.
“Mr Dominic is described as Pacific Islander in his 40s and was last seen wearing a grey top and dark pants but this may have changed.”
