The vehicle was recovered by police near Lake Rotoraira, south of Lake Taupō on the Volcanic Loop Highway, State Highway 46, late this morning, a police statement said today.
People in the area were asked to lookout for the occupants of the vehicle, allegedly stolen in the Rangitikei district last night.
