Appeal for sightings of man in Te Puke

1 min read

Police are currently responding to reports of a man in Te Puke who is possibly in possession of a firearm.

We have received two sightings of a man in the town carrying what appears to be a firearm this afternoon.

As yet, Police have not located the man or anything of concern.

However, we do want to hear from anyone else in Te Puke who has seen a man matching the description given by the people who called police.

The man is described as having a skinny build, with brown hair and a long beard. He was wearing black shorts, a black t-shirt, and a black cap.

If you can help, please call 111 and quote event number P057317178.
