Two teenage hunters who went missing in Raukūmara Forest Park on the East Coast have been found.
A Ruatoria resident told the Herald the 15-year-old Bay of Plenty boys were found on Opiti Rd and were well.
“They were unprepared for an overnight stay, especially two wet ones.”
Inspector Phillip Gillbanks confirmed the hunters had been found.
After an extensive search this morning, the two teenagers were located just after midday by a LandSAR search team.
