Police and Land Search and Rescue staff who have combed an area near Whangamatā for missing Waihī man Jordan van Deursen say they have suspended their search.
Van Deursen, 29, has not been seen after failing to return from a planned trip to the Wentworth Valley region, an area of forest near Whangamatā, on October 29.
He was accompanied by his dog, a terrier called Bagho, and police said the pair were known to go for frequent hikes in the area.
On October 30, his vehicle, a silver Toyota, was found near the Wentworth Valley campground at the start of a track leading to Wentworth Valley Falls by a campground employee who reported it to police.
Police and LandSAR personnel concentrated their search in an area from the Wentworth Valley campground over to Maratoto Rd, east of Hikutaia.
