Search under way for 80-year-old missing in wet weather

Police are asking for the public's help to find an 80-year-old woman reported missing from her Tasman home two days ago.

Natalie was last seen leaving her home in Pōhara in Golden Bay on foot about 8.30am on Monday.

Police said there were concerns for her welfare, particularly given the wet and windy conditions that day.

The search has involved Land Search and Rescue teams, inflatable rescue boats and drones.

"Police are keen to hear from anyone who was in the water in the Pōhara area around 8am Monday 6 July," a police spokesperson said.

"Any information can prove vital in our search, so please don't hesitate to contact us.

"Police are also asking for anyone with CCTV in the area to check their cameras and let us know if you've captured movements of Natalie."

She was wearing a light pink woollen hooded jersey and black sneakers, police said.

Anyone who has seen Natalie or has any information is asked to call 111 and reference number P066917433.
