"Update - search for missing man Stephen Lowe "

The search for missing Dunedin man Stephen Lowe will continue today.

A team of around 50, including SAR volunteers from across the region, will be assisting with today’s search, which is focused in the Catlins area.

Mr Lowe left work on Portsmouth Drive in Dunedin around 10am on Friday 15 September, and has not been seen or heard from since.

The terrain in the search area is very challenging and Police would again like to extend their thanks to the SAR volunteers and South Otago locals who have assisted in the search so far.

Police would also like to extend their thanks to Mr Lowe’s family and friends, who have been extremely supportive of the search effort and have worked tirelessly with Police and SAR since Mr Lowe went missing.
