Police are searching for 77-year-old John Mohi, of Maketu, who has been missing since Monday.

The search has so far focused on the Maketu area.

But Police are concerned that Mr Mohi, also known as Johnny Moses, may have travelled outside of the current search area.

He is approximately 6ft (182cm) in height, with a very slight build.

John was last seen wearing a dark business-style button-down shirt with a blue and white check pattern on it.

He was also wearing a pair of black or grey long pants and jandals when he was last seen on Wilson Road in the Maketu area.

If anyone sees John, or someone fitting this description, they are encouraged to contact Tauranga Police as soon as possible on (07) 577 4300.
