Capsized kayak sparks police search

Police are searching the Kawarau River near Roaring Meg after a kayak was seen floating upside down in the river.

A police spokeswoman said police and search and rescue personnel were notified after a member of the public noticed the kayak about 12.15pm.

The witness did not see anyone with the kayak.

Police were checking the river and still making enquiries as to whether there was anyone in the kayak and if anyone needed rescuing.

Police said just after 3pm that they had "no ongoing concerns" about the kayak.
