Police have found the Auckland teenager who hadn't been seen for 24 hours.

Paulo Junior Te Raroa, 13, was last seen on Monday afternoon at about 3:30pm at an address on Kahu Rd, Panmure.

A Panmure local, Paulo - or 'Boonie' as he often goes by - has been known to leave home for periods of time.

His family became concerned when he hadn't returned home by Tuesday afternoon, but Paulo was located soon afterwards.

Police say he is safe and well, and have thanked the Auckland public for their help.
