August 22, 2020
Police are appealing for any sightings of a grey dinghy, described as 8-10 feet with an outboard.

Police searching for a missing boatie in Auckland's Mahurangi Harbour have located a body on the shoreline.

The Auckland man, aged in his sixties, who lived on a boat had not had contact with anyone since Thursday.

Police were notified yesterday after the man failed to turn up to work.

His body was located a couple of kilometres south of Scotts Landing.

The death will be referred to the Coroner and formal identification will need to take place to confirm the identity of the deceased.
