Police have deployed drones and foot patrols in the search for an Invercargill farmer who has been missing for nearly four weeks.
Kevin Belling, 62, was last seen on his Motu Rimu farm on 9 January and reported missing on 18 January.
Police said they had serious concerns for his welfare, as did Belling’s loved ones.
People were being urged to check their rural properties for any sign of him.
Detective Sergeant John Kean said search and rescue teams had searched extensively for Belling.
On Saturday they focused on his Caeser Road property in Kapuka, he said.
“Unfortunately, Kevin has not been found and police continue to appeal for any information that could help us find him,” he said.
“It is very unusual for Kevin to not be in contact with anyone for this long.”
Police were urging anyone with information to contact 105 using the reference number 260118/6964.
Information could also be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers.
