Police are concerned for the welfare of an Auckland teenager girl missing for more than a week.

She is known to frequent the areas of Māngere, Ōtāhuhu and Manurewa.

The teen is described as 155cm tall and has brown hair.

Atarangi's whānau and police have concerns for her welfare given her young age and ask anyone who sights her to reach out.
