Bay of Plenty police are searching a rural property near Rotorua but will not confirm if it is linked to the investigation into the death of roadworker George Taiaroa.

The 67-year-old was shot while directing traffic at a single-lane bridge near Atiamuri in south Waikato on 19 March.

At this stage police are saying only they are conducting a search warrant in relation to an ongoing criminal investigation.
