UPDATE: Police racing to find missing 75-year-old
UPDATE: The body believed to be that of the missing man has been found in "dense bush" in north Auckland.
---
Police say they are "racing against the clock" to find a 75-year-old.
He went missing on Wednesday from Milton Court Rest Home in Orewa, north Auckland. He was last seen walking northbound on the Hibiscus Coast Highway near Hatfields Beach around 5pm, wearing a red and black jacket and blue jeans.
Police need to know if he had been picked up and driven to a different location, and people are asked to check their sheds and properties as he may have sought shelter.
Anyone with information is asked to urgently contact Police on 105.
