Police are asking for help to identify who owns clothing left on Wellington’s Hataitai Beach yesterday evening, as a search and rescue operation gets underway.
The faded black shirt, green and orange Nike shoes and a pair of green and white ankle socks were found on the beach near Evans Bay Parade about 9pm yesterday.
Police want to confirm the person who left the clothes on the beach is safe.
Police said a male wearing a pair of black shorts was seen entering the water around the same time the clothing was left on the beach. But they say they don’t know whether it’s connected.
People are asked to call 105 and quote event P045434543 if they've seen a person in the area matching the description, or they’ve seen someone wearing the clothes found.
