Harpur said police would still like to hear from anyone who may have seen this car – a black Toyota Auris with the registration number NBE817.
“We would like to hear from any members of the public or motorists who may have seen this car or have dashcam footage, who were travelling in the Huntly area, on Great South Rd and the Taupiri area on Wednesday afternoon, particularly between 4.30 and 5.30pm.
“We would also like to hear from anyone who saw this car or may have dashcam footage in and around Pukemokemoke Bush Reserve on Tauhei Rd.”
Waikato District Council Mayor Jacqui Church said the incident was “really concerning” for herself and the community and expressed sympathy for the 15-year-old’s family.
She urged anyone with information to provide it to police, “who are doing a really good job of investigating it and putting it as a priority”.
Police have set up a portal for images and short recordings to be uploaded. This can be accessed here.
Anyone with information or larger quantities of footage can contact police on 105 quoting the file number 240410/3018, Harpur said.
“If it’s too big a file, then we will send out a detective to download it.”
