Upper Hutt residents in the suburb of Totara Parkare being asked to check their properties for a missing man who has Alzheimer's.
Wellington police say 60-year-old Brett Carpenter was last seen about midday on Hartford Crescent, and a search and rescue operation is underway in the wider Upper Hutt area.
Detective David Nichols said police had serious concerns for his safety and they would like help from the public.
Nichols said the best thing people could do at this stage is check their properties and ring 111 immediately if they find him.
He said Carpenter was tall and skinny, with grey hair and an unshaven face.
He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and black trackpants with white stripes on the leg.
