    Appeals for sightings of a young German who's been cycling the North Island

    Appeals for sightings of a young German who's been cycling the North Island


    Alexander Gaitzsch's family say they haven't heard from the 24-year-old in two weeks.

    His godmother, Babett Bildergalerie, says he usually checks in every few days - and he missed his mother's birthday.

    He's 170 centimetres tall - has dark blond hair - and is riding a black Winora bike.

    Bildergalerie says people have reported potential sightings from Whangarei to Kapiti Coast.

    More than eight-thousand people have shared her appeal on social media - and have been checking with ferry companies and campgrounds.

    Police say they haven't received a report - but are making enquiries.
