Missing Rotorua man James Williams has been found safe and well, it has been reported.
The 27-year-old had left Rotorua for Wellington on Thursday but failed to turn up at work there.
Police last night said they had concerns for his welfare, and family were this morning searching an area between Bulls, where he was last seen by a police officer, and Wellington.
Police were speaking to Mr Williams, a police communications centre spokesman was reported as saying.
