A West Auckland teenager missing since Monday has been located safe and well in Tokoroa.
The 15-year-old from Oratia was reported missing about 8.30pm on Monday, after he failed to return home from school.
Although the teen was competent in the outdoors, police were concerned given his age and the weather.
There was a possible sighting of him on Monday at 9am on Forrest Hill Road, near the intersection with Pine Avenue.
Police said on Friday they would like to thank the public and media for their assistance.
