Police rescue disoriented trampers from Raglan bush

A group of “disoriented” trampers have been found after a search and rescue mission was launched in Waikato’s Raglan last night.

Police said the trampers became lost in the bush and called for help shortly after 6pm Saturday.

“A group of people have become disoriented on a walk in Raglan and have called for help.”

RNZ reported that a volunteer rescue team was deployed to find the group and walk them out, and that police had been in phone contact with the group.

Police confirmed this morning the group had been located around 10.30pm.

It was not immediately clear where in Raglan the group had been tramping.
