Ngaruawahia man Michael Murdoch has been missing for a week and has not been in communication with family, which is concerning for them and police.

An unconfirmed sighting of Murdoch was reported on Saturday, September 28, with his red/maroon 2001 Nissan Skyline.

His disappearance sparked an appeal for sightings of the 44-year-old by police this afternoon.

"Police are concerned for Michael's wellbeing, as his lack of contact with family is out of character," a spokesperson said.

"Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
