A car belonging to a missing teenager has been found on a west coast beach and police are asking for sightings of the 18-year-old.

Daniel Kelly’s car was found today on Karioitahi Beach near Waiuku.

A concerned family member posted to Facebook earlier today saying the area of the beach the car was found in had been cordoned off so search and rescue personnel with their dogs could search thoroughly.

The post also said Kelly’s dog had been located in his car, but he was nowhere to be found.

Police would like to hear from anyone who might have seen Kelly or have any information on his whereabouts.
