Police are appealing for any information after a 19-year-old woman was reported missing by her family.
Maia Johnston left a family address in Totara Park, Upper Hutt, at around 8.30pm on Saturday to go for a walk and has not been seen since.
Police updated shortly before 8.30pm Sunday saying the search was still active.
Police and Maia's family are concerned about her well-being and are anxious to locate her, they said.
"Please if anyone knows anything please contact me!," her mother Amy Walsh posted on Facebook.
"You're not in trouble we just want to know you are safe please!"
Police are asking that anyone with CCTV cameras in the Totara Park area check for sightings of Maia between 8 and 9pm.
They are also asking for anyone in the vicinity of Harcourt Park and Brown Owl to review their CCTV for any sightings of Maia after 8:15 PM last night.

In a Facebook post on Saturday night, Johnston's mum Walsh said she left her house in Akron Grove while intoxicated.
"We have been searching for her since 9pm. She has no phone, no wallet, nothing. Just the black jeans shorts, green shoestring singlet and a black tshirt she was carrying. Wearing converse shoes."
Walsh said she and "half the neighbourhood" had been out searching in heavy rain overnight, and there was "no sign of her anywhere".
"I just can't understand where she has gone."
"She does not know the area and I am seriously concerned for her safety."
Residents of Totara Park may see a drone in the air behind the houses on the northern end of Totara Park as part of the search, police said.
Walsh told Stuff she moved to Upper Hutt in July, and Johnston is visiting from Hamilton for Christmas.
