The Blenheim CIB, ESR and fire investigators have just begun a scene examination at a location on Kiwa Road, north of Kaikoura, where a badly burned vehicle was located earlier today.
Police believe the vehicle may contain a body, but this is yet to be confirmed.
While it is too early to determine exactly what has happened, Blenheim Police would like to hear from anyone who has been in the area or who has information that may be relevant to the investigation.
