The Team from Waikato Police

Waikato Police are renewing appeals for information as concerns grow over the whereabouts of missing man Louis.

The 44-year-old has been missing since Thursday 13 November, and Police have been searching the area where he was last known to be.

Louis was last seen at around 10am, believed to be heading to the Tui Domain Track via the Hamilton Street entrance, at the base of Mount Te Aroha.

"Since then, there have been no sightings of Louis despite our efforts to locate him," says Detective Inspector Matt Cranshaw. "As time passes, we are getting more concerned for his wellbeing."

Detective Inspector Cranshaw says Police have been searching around Te Aroha, with volunteers from Land Search and Rescue, and Canyon Search and Rescue in bush areas and streets nearby.

"We ask members of the Te Aroha community to review any CCTV or dashcam footage they may have from Thursday."

Louis was last seen wearing a dark blue shirt, brown pants, and old blue and white striped jandals. "If you someone that may look like Louis, or someone wearing clothes like this description, please contact us."

If you have information that could assist us in locating Louis, please contact us online at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking "Update Report" or by calling 105.
Please use the reference number 251114/9651.
