Napier man with warrant to arrest missing since last October
A Napier man who has a warrant out for his arrest has not been seen since last October.
Eastern District Police made another public appeal today to locate Lars Marlon Peka, missing since October 2020.
In January this year, police asked for the public's help to find the 48-year-old but he was not located and extensive enquiries since that time have failed to find him.
Detective Sergeant Glenn Restieaux says Police and his family have concerns for his welfare as he has a known medical condition and requires ongoing medication which we don’t believe he has been taking.
"Peka has an outstanding warrant to arrest and there is a high likelihood he is evading Police because of this," Restieaux says.
"We are appealing to Lars, or anyone who knows where he is to let us know. It is important we can ensure he is safe and well."
He has several distinctive tattoos which include barbed wire on his left forearm as well as “019” on his left wrist.
He is described as 176cm tall (5ft9) of solid build.
Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Police on 105 and quote file number 201030/3412.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
