There are "serious concerns" for the welfare of a missing Papamoa woman, whose house bus was found on a track in lower Kaimai.
A search and rescue team spent yesterday looking for Nicola O’Connor, whose grey Nissan house bus was found on the Rapurapu Track on Tuesday.
The track is a popular day walk for trampers found off SH29 on the Matamata side of the Kaimai Ranges.
The 42-year-old was known to be travelling in the bus around the Bay of Plenty and Matamata area in the days prior to it being found.
Detective Senior Sergeant Kristine Clarke said efforts to locate the woman came "without success".
"Police are appealing for anybody who may have seen Nicola or has information as to her possible whereabouts to contact them via 105," Clarke said.
"We would also like to hear from anybody who was on the Rapurapu track or in that area on Tuesday that may have seen Nicola or any activity that may assist the enquiry to locate her."
