A body has been pulled from Lake Rotorua this afternoon.

Police say they were called to the lake about 2.45pm after a member of the public reported seeing "something of concern in the water".

It comes after a kayaker, visiting the country from France, was reported overdue from the lake last Monday afternoon.

The body has been recovered and formal identification will now take place.
