Detective Inspector Daryl Smith:

Police are continuing their investigation into the disappearance of 52-year-old John Mills.

Police remain committed to finding Mr Mills and returning him to his whānau.

We would like to thank those who have come forward with information and assisted us so far.

We continue to appeal to the community for sightings of Mr Mills or his vehicle, particularly around the time he was reported missing.
