A man's body has been found in a section of bush in West Auckland.
While the body has yet to be formally identified, police say they were searching the area in Henderson in relation to a previous missing person.
"At this stage police believe the body may be that of the missing person, however until formal identification processes are complete we are unable to confirm this," Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Williams says.
The area has been cordoned off and a scene guard is set to stay in place overnight.
