From Midday Report, 12:16 pm on 13 March 2024

The police are working to identify a body which was pulled out of the sea at Gulf Harbour, north of Auckland yesterday afternoon.

The body wrapped in plastic bags was found by a fisherman who first thought it was a log or a dead animal when he dragged it from the water.

A post mortem on the body is expected to begin later today.

Reporter Lucy Xia spoke to Charlotte Cook from Gulf Harbour.
