Bridget Simmonds, 42, was reported missing on March 6 by her family when they grew worried she hadn't been in contact - something they said was very unusual.
She was last seen when she was dropped off at Countdown on Kamo Road, Whangarei, by family at about midday on February 23.
Bridget was last seen wearing a dark-coloured singlet and black jeans, and had three large black and grey backpacks with her. She has a large distinctive tattoo on her upper left arm of a fairy tangled in vines holding an orb.
Anyone with information as to her whereabouts can contact Detective Constable Joseph Reuben on 09 945 4733, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Read more here.

Winter is the perfect time to check your number, and make sure you’re on the best power deal. With colder days just around the corner, your power usage may increase. Paying less for power is a quick way to squeeze more out of your budget.

Great for conversion into cupboard, kennel, bar, halved for plants and many other creative ideas.
Pick-up in Whangarei.
Double garage size or bigger for photocopiers. They're clean so no mess. Won't need access very often.
Come and see us on ANZAC Day in the afternoon from 3pm at the Victoria Canopy Bridge in the Town Basin. We might even have a fully electric campervan on display...

Disappointed to read Northpower have cut their annual donation to our famous Whangarei Bird Rescue. Robert and Robyn work tirelessly and don't deserve to have to go looking for Sponsorship.

Robert and Robyn work tirelessly and don't deserve to have to go looking for Sponsorship. Northpower has a monopoly for power in our District and surely $14000 p.a won't make a hole in their funds...I am sure if enough of us protest this decision and remind them it extremely NEGATIVE...a rethink with the publicity will be a POSITIVE STATEMENT and will probably be worth than what is required!..I have had 3x accounts with Northpower (some commercial) for 3 x decades and this does not sit well with me, nor many of my family and friends....I have written to Mr Macmillan WILL YOU??
Tomorrow we remember those who have made the greatest sacrifice to keep us all safe.
