23-year-old Hawera Ratu went missing around 8pm last night, but has since been found.
His sister told 1XX he was heading to the shops and never came home which is "very out of character."
He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie, black trackpants and black jandals.
The family want to thank everyone for their support.
