Police search for Jayleb-Che

The Team from Bay of Plenty & Taupo Police

Police are asking public near Waiotapu Loop Road to search their property for anything that may relate to the search for Jayleb-Che, age 36, who has been missing since Tuesday 30 September in Rotorua.

Police, and Search and Rescue, are actively searching the area where Jayleb-Che was last known to be.

Police would like to hear from members of the public who used the ‘hot and cold’ pools on Waiotapu Loop Road between 10pm on Tuesday 30 September and 10am on Wednesday 1 October.
- Police are particularly interested in any dashcam or CCTV footage.
- People residing in the immediate vicinity are asked to search properties in case Jayleb-Che has been there.

Much of the search area terrain is unsafe for public to search so Police advise public and family members who wish to assist, to confine their search to the roads in the area, for safety reasons.

Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Police via 105, referencing file number 251003/5935.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
