Concerns are growing over the whereabouts of missing man Louis, who was last seen three days ago in Waikato.

Police are renewing appeals for information on the 44-year-old’s whereabouts and have been out searching the area where he was last known to be on November 13.

He was last seen at about 10am on Thursday, believed to be heading to the Tūī Domain Track via the Hamilton Street entrance, at the base of Mt Te Aroha.

Detective Inspector Matt Cranshaw said despite the efforts of police to locate him, there have been “no sightings” since.
