Police say they have identified a "main suspect" in relation to the murder of George Taiaroa in Atiamuri last month.

A vehicle believed to have been involved in the fatal shooting of the stop-go sign operator has also been seized and is currently being forensically examined.

Detective Inspector Tim Anderson said today police "believe we are closer to the motive behind the cold-blooded murder".

"We do have a main suspect in relation to this investigation and we are also working on the possibility that he is being protected or actively assisted by others," Mr Anderson said.
