Public Urged to Check Properties for Maia Johnston

Police are continuing to search for 19-year-old Maia Johnston, who is still missing from Totara Park, Upper Hutt.

Maia was last seen leaving a family home in Totara Park at around 8.30pm on Saturday 21 December.

We are continuing to ask those who live Totara Park as well as surrounding areas of Harcourt Park and Brown Owl to check any CCTV footage for sightings of Maia.

We are now also asking anyone in these suburbs to check their properties including any outbuildings such as sheds or sleep outs to see if Maia might have gone in there.

We believe that Maia was wearing a black cardigan or light top, short shorts, and black and white converse shoes.

Police have received a number of calls from members of the public, which we thank them for. We have assessed each bit of information and followed up where relevant. Unfortunately this has not led us to Maia and we, along with her family, would like to find her and make sure she is safe.

If you have any information or CCTV footage that could help our enquiries, please update us online now or call 105. Please use the reference number 241222/0237.
