Police say Finau was last seen on 16 November, and his family had serious concerns for his welfare.

A Police spokesperson said his whereabouts remained unknown, "despite a number of enquiries being carried out".

"Finau lives in the Otahuhu area but drove to Laingholm on Monday 15 November 2021 where he left his car, a black coloured Nissan Murano SUV/wagon.

"Enquiries have established that on the afternoon of Tuesday 16 November 2021, he caught a bus from Laingholm to the New Lynn bus depot."

Police said Finau's disappearance was out of character and have appealed for anyone with any sightings of Finau to contact police.
