Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Body recovered in search for missing swimmer
Search crews looking for a missing swimmer have located a body at Hamilton’s Gap, north of Waiuku.
Formal identification has yet to take place, but it is believed to be 19-year-old Hiran Joseph, who went missing while swimming at Karioitahi Beach on 2 January.
Police have informed Hiran’s family, who are being provided with support at this incredibly difficult time.
LandSAR and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand were involved with this morning’s efforts.
A rāhui on recreational fishing and swimming placed by local iwi has now been lifted.
Police thank the public for their compassion and understanding while the rāhui was in place.
