Police are urgently appealing for sightings of a Greymouth woman and her three children – including a 1-year-old – last known to be in Wanaka, and now believed to be in Christchurch.

A police spokesperson said the woman, Cadence, was reported missing from Greymouth and her family have significant concerns
for her wellbeing after being unable to contact her.

“She was in Wanaka until 9 December, and currently believed to be in the Christchurch area,” the spokesperson said.

Police understand she is travelling with a man and her children, aged 1, 10 and 12, in a silver Toyota Raum with distinctive swirl markings on the side, registration QWS577.

Anyone who has seen Cadence or who has information that could help police is asked to call 105 and quote reference 251206/9239.
