Police are urgently seeking information on the whereabouts of an elderly woman missing from Auckland’s North Shore.
Maree Jennins, 69, is currently missing from her residential complex on Roseberry Road in Birkenhead.
The last confirmed sighting of Maree is believed to be the afternoon of Friday 24 July.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams, from Waitematā East CIB, says Maree was reported missing to Police on Tuesday evening.
Police and Maree’s family hold serious concerns for her welfare.
Maree has no form of transport, and she has been known to have used taxis in the past.
“We have made enquiries with taxi firms throughout the day, we know that Maree has recently avoided using her name when she has made taxi bookings. She may have caught a taxi from the Roseberry Road or wider Birkenhead area.
“Maree’s family and Police hold serious concerns for her following recent comments she has made. She stayed in a north Auckland motel recently and it is possible she has done the same again, but we continue to be worried for her wellbeing,” Detective Senior Sergeant Willliams says.
Police are asking any taxi drivers that might have picked Maree up on Friday afternoon to contact us or any accommodation providers to contact Police.
You may have vital information to help our enquiries.
Residents in the wider Birkenhead area that may have seen Maree in recent days should also contact Police.
If you see Maree, please call 111 immediately.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts can also call 105 using the reference number 260728/7173.
