The search for a man missing in the Whanganui River is entering its fifth day.
A police spokesman said the search, which began on Thursday after a person was reported to be in the water, was ongoing.
Police were unable to provide the number of people involved but said the dive squad had been assisting with the search.
A boat with four to five people on board combed the river near the Whanganui City Bridge over the weekend.
A three-day rāhui was placed on the Whanganui River between Sparrow Cliff and the river mouth last Thursday.
