The police search in Greymouth continues after a report of a person who had been swept out to sea this weekend.

At around 6pm Saturday, Police were notified the person had been swept to sea.

“The search resumed this morning where Police, with the assistance of Precision Helicopters, conducted aerial searches of the shoreline between Ross and Charleston”, said Senior Sergeant Mark Kirkwood.

“At this stage, the person has not yet been located, with rough sea conditions and white caps making the search difficult.



“Police continue to make enquiries to identify the person swept out to sea, and if the kayak is linked to the person.”
