Police are issuing a renewed appeal for information from the public to help find missing Tauranga woman Rebeka Storey.

Western Bay of Plenty Police Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Rawlinson said Storey told her family she was driving from Tauranga to her sister's house in Ranfurly on September 5.

She was planning to camp overnight along the way in her white Suzuki Swift, registration CWD620.

The last confirmed sighting of Storey was at 11.47pm on September 5 at the Caltex service station in Greerton, Tauranga, Rawlinson said.

Her white Suzuki was then recorded travelling south down the Tauranga Eastern Link at 12.31am.

Her Suzuki has been recovered by police from the campsite, and the surrounding area has been extensively searched by Search and Rescue.
