Shore line searches this morning have failed to locate a body
sighted in the water off Lawyers Head at Dunedin early today.
A helicopter, sent up by police acting on information from
the public, spotted the body about 4am today, but the weather
was too bad to commence a retrieval operation until daylight,
by which time the body was unable to be located.
Sergeant Kevin Davidson said an officer was posted at Lawyers
Head, but he and other searches of the nearby shoreline this
morning had failed to locate the body.
An inflatable rescue boat will be launched to search the
waters around the head at 2pm.
