Update: Missing Rotorua uncle and nephew, Raymond and James Fleet

Rotorua Police is continuing to investigate the disappearance of Raymond Fleet and James Fleet who have not been seen for more than a week.

The uncle and nephew were reported missing on Tuesday 8 August, 2017.

Rotorua Investigations Manager, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Van Kempen says the matter is now being treated as suspicious.

“Their disappearance is completely out of character for both of them,” he says.

“Their family are distraught and do not have any reason to believe Raymond or James would willingly leave.

“Since they were last seen at home on Monday 7 August, there has been no communication from either of them.

“We remain concerned for their wellbeing as there have been no sightings of them either.”

Rotorua Police ask anyone with any information which may assist with finding James and Raymond to make contact immediately.

Information may be shared in confidence with Rotorua Police on 07 349 9400.

Alternatively, information may also be shared anonymously with Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The family is receiving ongoing support at this distressing time.
