A search effort by a LandSAR dog team and a helicopter to locate missing two-year-old Emily Saunders has been unsuccessful this morning.
The search has been suspended for today.
Further search and rescue efforts will be dependent on weather conditions, which are expect to worsen with a severe weather warning issued for Westland over the weekend.
Police recognise this is a difficult time for the family and our thoughts are with them.
