Update: Kaimanawa Forest search

To be attributed to Senior Sergeant Tony Jeurissen:
 
Police, Defence and LandSAR staff will continue the search today for two men lost in rugged bush in Tongariro National Park.
 
Search teams continued to find items yesterday which we believe belong to the two men.  This has provided further confirmation that we are focusing our search efforts on the correct area.
 
Police met with whanau of the two men last night to provide them with an update on the search.
 
Members of Tūwharetoa were also in attendance and Police would like to acknowledge the ongoing assistance and support being provided by the iwi.
