Lower Hutt teen found safe and well

A Lower Hutt teenager who went missing more than a week ago was found safe and well this afternoon.

Adam Rangi, 16, had been found about 3pm and was currently staying at a house in the suburb of Epuni, police said.

His parents had been told.

Concern was held after the teenager went missing from his family home in the suburb of Woburn on January 25 and had not used his bank account or cell phone.
