Further image of man missing near Porirua, as searches continue

Searches are ongoing to locate a missing man last seen near Porirua, and Police are hoping a new CCTV image may help jog the public’s memory.

Graham Russell Smith was reported missing on the evening of Sunday 10 November, after going for a walk on Doctor Track on the Rangituhi/Colonial Knob walkway.

The attached photograph is a CCTV image captured earlier on Sunday afternoon, with the 77-year-old wearing the same clothing he was in that day. When he was last seen, he was also wearing a dark blue puffer jacket.

Police Search and Rescue, LandSAR volunteers – including teams from Horowhenua and Manawatu – and the Amateur Emergency Radio Communication Team are assisting the search.

The Police ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Dive Squad began searching the reservoirs in the reserve yesterday, and are continuing their search today.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand assisted last night with the use of a drone with thermal capability.
