Police have issued an amber alert for a 16-year-old missing in New Plymouth.
Police said Inara Caldwell left her house on Mangroei Rd, New Plymouth yesterday at about 1.30pm.
A police spokesperson said Inara has autism, and described her as having dark hair and brown eyes.
Coupled with the incoming weather warnings, lack of adequate clothing and unfamiliarity of the area, “police have serious concerns for Inaras safety” and wish to ensure she is safe.
She was last seen leaving on foot wearing a backpack, a grey t-shirt, black track pants, black high top converse shoes and black headphones.
Anyone with information or sightings of Inara was urged to contact police on 111.
