Otago coastal search and rescue coordinator Sergeant Matt Sheat says the bike may have been left by a tramper or climber.

“Our concern is that the owner may be overdue from a trip or have got into trouble in the area, and we want to hear from the bike’s owner, or anyone who may know who it belongs to,” Sheat said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the police.
