Fears are growing for a 15-year-old Wanganui girl who has been missing for a week and a half.
Rose Page Lewis left her Wanganui home on the morning of Friday, February 27.
Police say associates dropped her off at a Porirua petrol station that afternoon.
Rose has a history of hitch-hiking and police believe she may have tried to hitch a lift to the Hawke's Bay region.
She has distinctive blond hair and is likely to still be in the lower half of the North Island.
