The two kayakers reported potentially missing in Wellington harbour have been located safe on land in Petone.
Police would like to thank all those who assisted with the search effort while it was underway.
Police urge people to avoid or delay any unnecessary outdoor activities given the severe weather conditions in Wellington at the moment.
Conditions are dangerous on the water and on the roads due to high winds, and we urge people to take precautions and keep safe.
