Police are searching a Head Hunters gang pad for a missing man's body.
Jayden Mamfredos-Nair has been missing since April 21 - his disappearance sparked a homicide investigation.
Detective Inspector Callum McNeill said police will be carrying out a search warrant at an address in Dairy Flat in the hopes of locating his body.
"New information had led the investigation team to an address on Young Access Road, which is currently occupied by members of the Head Hunters gang," McNeill said.
"There will be an increased number of police in the Dairy Flat area while this search warrant is conducted.
"However, we can confirm there is no risk to the public in relation to this."
Mamfredos-Nair's last known sighting was at Birdwood Reserve in Auckland's Rānui at 8.45pm on Friday, April 21. He was 19 years old at the time.
Police said he was spotted leaving the reserve with two Head Hunters gang associates in a black 2022 Toyota Hilux without a canopy.
The black Hilux has since been seized by police and examined as part of the investigation.
"It has now been almost six months since Jayden was reported missing and we know that there are people in our community who know what happened to him," McNeill said.
"As time goes on and allegiances change, we urge those with information to come forward anonymously.
"It’s time to tell us where he is so he can be returned to his grieving whānau."
