Police are concerned for a teenage girl missing from Rotorua for nine days.
Finesse Broughton, 14, was last seen leaving her home in the Rotorua suburb of Mangakakahi, west of the city centre, about 7am on March 3.
Detective Sergeant John Wilson, of the Rotorua crime squad, said she had not been seen since.
"Finesse has a long-term serious medical condition which gives cause for grave concerns for her wellbeing and health," Mr Wilson said. "It is believed she is either in the Bay of Plenty or Auckland areas."
Finesse is a Maori girl of small build and 150cm tall with dark brown shoulder length hair which is normally worn pulled back.
Anyone who sees her or who may know where she might be is asked to call police.
