Police investigating the death of a man in Whangārei on 27 October are appealing for sightings of a dark-coloured 2021 Nissan Navara.
The investigation team is particularly interested in the movements of the vehicle in the Whangārei and Onerahi areas on 26 and 27 October.
The vehicle is also understood to have travelled through Kawakawa and Kaitaia over the past three days.
We are interested in that vehicle and in identifying any occupants, as we believe they may be able to assist our enquiry team.
