Police are asking the public to continue to look for missing Auckland man Atonio Finau, as the first anniversary of his disappearance nears.

The 65-year-old was last seen on 16 November 2021 in the west Auckland suburb of New Lynn.

Finau lived in the Ōtāhuhu area but drove to Laingholm on Monday 15 November last year, where he left his car, a black coloured Nissan Murano SUV/wagon.

Police enquiries established that he caught a bus from Laingholm to the New Lynn bus depot in the afternoon of Tuesday, 16 November.
