Missing Man - Hutt Valley
Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a Hutt Valley man who has been missing for two months.
Thomas Basire, 28, was last seen near the Ewen Bridge on Railway Ave, walking on the stop bank towards Petone on 24 November 2024.
Tom was wearing a red long-sleeved sweatshirt, black trousers and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance.
Today, Police have a specialist search team conducting a search of the Hutt River and riverbank.
It is out of character for Tom to not be in contact with his family, especially to miss seeing his family on his birthday in December.
Both Police and Tom’s family have serious concerns for his wellbeing and would like to know he is safe.
If you have any information on Tom’s whereabouts, please update us online now or call 105, quoting reference number 241213/6143.
traffic chaos
I note no comments about utter traffic chaos alicetown melling area due to not being able to turn from victoria st on to ewan bridge. You would think council would require 24 by 7 work on such a vital road into lower hutt. what about all the extra pollution due to cars crawling along at 10kmph. I guess council doesnt believe in climate change
