Have you seen this man? There are concerns for his safety!!!!

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Whangarei Police remain very concerned for the safety of Kevin Charles Stewart, and are asking coastal residents and property owners to check around them for anything unusual.

The 55-year-old left a cabin he lives in near central Whangarei some time during the night of December 7/8.

He has not made contact with friends or family since he was last seen late in the evening on December 7.

Mr Stewart is of slim build and approximately 169cm tall, with grey hair and brown eyes.

He may have made his way to east coast beaches near Whangarei, so Police ask property and bach owners to please check your dwellings and shed or garages for any unusual signs or activity.

If you live in coastal settlements near Whangarei, please also check any neighbouring empty properties.

Anyone who has seen Mr Stewart or has any information that may help Police find him, is asked to contact Senior Sergeant Steve Dickson on (09) 430 4542.

Urgent information can be phoned in to 111.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
