The search for 5-year-old Kaizer in Tiniroto today is ongoing, with multiple search teams on the ground and a helicopter deployed.
UPDATE: Body of Missing 5-year-old Found in Pond Near His Home
“Search and rescue dogs are also being deployed, along with other specialist search groups,” said Inspector Darren Paki.
The search is focused on the area around Tiniroto Road in the vicinity of Bushy Knoll Road.
“Police would like to recognise the overwhelming outpouring of support from the community, with many people turning up wanting to help.
“We appreciate there are many people keen to help get Kaizer home to his family.
“At this stage, we are asking that only those with search and rescue skills/experience come forward.
“If you have those skills and are available to help, please phone Gisborne Station on 06 869 0200 or come into the front counter.
“We appreciate your understanding while we work to coordinate this urgent operation.”
Hopefully a pleasant outcome
Can they not use a heat seeking helicopter?
I came across a child called Kaiser about 3 months ago in Rotorua. He was running away from his “caregiver” who didn’t look like she was his mother. I noted the woman seemed distracted and wasn’t watching the child adequately in my view. I only know his name because she was yelling for him as he was running toward the road.
I just remember it because I thought what an odd name to call a child. Can’t be that common. Anyway the main thing is the poor kid needs to be found, whatever the circumstances that led to him going missing.
Oh so an update to my earlier comment, poor wee soul has been found. So sad 😞 RIP wee man.
