Rotorua police are seeking sightings of a man and his nephew who have been missing for five days.
Detective Sergeant George Staunton, Rotorua CIB, said Raymond Fleet, 51, and James Fleet, 25, were last seen by their families between 1pm and 6pm on Monday.
Police believe they are together andcould be in the Rotorua or Auckland areas.
The pair's behaviour was out of character and their disappearance was at odds with their normal activities and work commitments, Mr Staunton said.

He is 172cm tall (5'6"), has hazel/grey eyes and has tattoos along his right arm of crossed rifles under a "Codys" symbol and a dragon-looking tattoo down his right forearm to his hand.
He was last seen wearing a dark coloured hoodie and grey trackpants.
If anyone knows of the men's whereabouts, police would appreciate information.
