Save A teddy-bear dangled over the Waikato River sparked an emergency callout this morning after a person mistook it for a human body.
A passerby on the opposite bank below Awatere Ave spotted the stuffed toy dangling head-first from a tree branch about 11am, and called police.
The police boat was
launched and officers quickly discovered the item was a large brown teddy bear.
It was left at the scene.
