Attribute to Palmerston North Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Phil Ward:
The search for a man missing in the Manawatū River is continuing today.
Search conditions are better than yesterday – the river has calmed, and water visibility has improved.
The Police Dive Squad and the Land Search and Rescue Kayak Team are joining Police Search and Rescue, Palmerston North Swiftwater Rescue, and regional response teams.
A LandSAR boat and drones are continuing to be used today, with the addition of a jetboat, which will be used to search the river.
Searching is also taking place along the river embankments and at the Foxton Estuary.
