Police concerned about Auckland woman missing for two days

Police have concerns for the safety of 21-year-old Auckland woman Carissa Avison.

Avison was last seen leaving her home on Dockside Lane, Auckland Central, about 8.30am on Thursday January 26.

She failed to turn up for work, which her family described as being out of character.

Avison is described as slim to medium build, and has a Japanese scripture tattoo on her left forearm. 

She was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, black 3/4 length pants and black Nike shoes.

Avison has contacts in Papamoa, Southland, and the wider Auckland area, but police do not believe she has access to a vehicle. 

If you have seen her or have information on her whereabouts, contact police or Crimestoppers.
