Body found north of Raglan, Waikato

A body has been found by police in Waikato.

Police confirmed they recovered a body from Te Akau, north of Raglan late yesterday evening.

Formal identification of the person and a post-mortem will be carried out today.

“While this is under way we are unable to comment further,” a police spokesperson said.

Last week there was a major search operation after a person went missing at Waikato’s notorious Papanui Point.

A police spokesperson said they were alerted that a person had fallen from the rocks shortly before 1.40pm on January 29.
