Life jacket sparks missing person fears

A life jacket found floating in Wellington Harbour today has police wondering if they should be looking for a missing person.

Constable Peter Comer, of the Wellington Police Maritime Unit, said a yellow small-medium adult lifejacket was found around 10.30am in the harbour about a kilometre out from Days Bay.

"Anybody who has any knowledge of, or has lost a lifejacket, please contact the police immediately so as to confirm if there is any person outstanding," he said.
