    "Missing Hunter Found Safe and Well"

    Missing hunter, Timothy Cleghorn, has been found safe and well and does not require any medical attention.

    Senior Sergeant, Anthony Harmer, of Wellington Police would like to thank the Wellington, Wairarapa, Manawatu and Horowhenua Land Search and Rescue teams for their assistance.

    Senior Sergeant, Harmer, reminds people that venturing out on hunting or tramping activities to make sure someone knows your plans, check the weather, know your limitations and to make sure you're well prepared for the conditions.

    Good news for those who use the Ruahines.

    "New radio repeater for Ruahine Ranges will help save lives"

    In an effort to help with Search and Rescue (SAR) responses and Department of Conservation (DOC) management of the Ruahine Forest Park, a new DOC radio repeater has recently been installed on the Ngamoko Range near the high point known as Tunupo.

    It was recognised that radio communications, particularly in the Oroua and Pohangina catchments, were largely non-existent. This posed risks for Police and Land Search and Rescue when responding to search and rescue events, particularly when the weather prevents flying in portable radio repeaters.

    Over the last 18 months DOC, NZ Police and local iwi Ngāti Hauiti have worked together on a joint project to address this, resulting in the repeater being installed in February this year.

    The repeater is solar powered.

    "This will greatly improve our SAR responses and will undoubtedly help save lives” says Sergeant Bill Nicholson, Central District Police SAR Coordinator.

    "Tests have indicated excellent coverage along the range and well into the Tararua, lower Hawke's Bay, Manawatu and Rangitikei districts."

    Local Iwi Ngāti Hauiti were consulted in the process, supported the proposal and had input to the siting of the repeater.

    Representatives from Ngāti Hauiti, accompanied by DOC Officer Richard Taiaroa, blessed the site prior to construction of the repeater.

    “This project demonstrated how easy it can be for all stakeholders to co-operate, in the provision of communication systems that assist in Search and Rescue responses,“ says Neville Lomax, Chair of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hauiti, the iwi with manawhenua status in this area.

    “DOC is pleased to be able to work with others to help ensure a safer community by the increased capabilities of SAR radio coverage," says Manawatu DOC Operations Manager John Rasmussen.

    "Red flare practise exercise to run in Foxton area on Saturday"

    Police warn that a Marine Search and Rescue Exercise will take place in the Foxton area this Saturday the 18th of June between 3-7pm, weather permitting.

    The final part of the exercise will involve the launching of up to five red parachute flares, five red handheld distress flares, orange smoke distress signals and red laser pin point distress flares.

    The flares will be launched from a position directly off the Manawatu River mouth several kilometres out to sea and be managed from the local Surf Life Saving premises.

    This culmination of the exercise will take place between 5-7pm and is an excellent opportunity for members of the public to familiarise themselves with what distress flares look like.

    This operation is being run by Manawatu Police Search and Rescue (SAR) in conjunction with Manawatu and Wanganui Coastguard and Surf Life Saving units

    "Search for missing hunter"

    A pig hunter has been reported missing in the Wairarapa.

    Police were alerted just after 7 o’clock this evening.

    Two men were hunting earlier today and became separated when one of them started chasing a pig.

    The hunter who stayed behind called Police when he was unable to find his mate.

    Police and search and rescue volunteers will now assemble and search for the missing hunter, who is wearing light clothing and gumboots.

    "Pig hunter found"

    The pig hunter reported missing in the Wairarapa earlier this evening has been found.

    Two men were hunting in Waiohine Gorge in Tararua Forest Park earlier today and became separated when one of them started chasing a pig.

    Police and search and rescue volunteers assembled to search for the missing hunter.

    However, while the team was preparing to mount a search, the hunter walked out of Waiohine Gorge.

    He is cold but otherwise fine.

    Police would like to thank search and rescue volunteers for responding to the call for help.

    While officers are pleased the hunter is safe and well, Police remind anyone going into the bush to always wear appropriate clothing for the environment and conditions.

    The daft thing is, its not that big a hunting area, with farm land around most of it, some forestry on the eastern side. He basicly just had to walk downhill and annoy a farmer to use his fone to get picked up.
    Glad he's OK tho.
    Ya can't park there mate.
