An extensive search of Wellington Harbour for missing kayaker Cameron Millar has been called off, six days after he was reported missing.
Navy personnel with sonar equipment, teamed with divers and boats, conducted a further search today, before it was called off this afternoon.
"Since Cameron's disappearance last Wednesday night, we've conducted thorough land, aerial and marine searches, but sadly we have not found him. We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Cameron's family at this difficult time,'' Acting Sergeant Anthony Harmer said.
Mr Millar, 19, has been missing since last Wednesday, after he and a companion were tipped from their kayaks between Eastbourne and Ward Island.
He was not wearing a life jacket and his kayak was found on the shore and a rucksack and paddle in the water of the harbour.
