Thirty-seven-year-old Nicholas Patrick Mitchell was found deceased in a vehicle on Ford Road shortly before 8:30pm on Friday.
Rotorua Area Investigations Manager Senior Sergeant Mark Van Kempen said Police were working “at pace” to find the offender, and asked residents on and near Ford Road to check their properties for possible evidence.
“It’s possible the offender discarded clothing, weapons, or other items while fleeing the scene.
We encourage residents to check their yards and fencelines.
If you find something that’s out of place, please leave it alone and contact Police."
Police, supported by the Armed Offenders Squad, had executed several warrants following Mr Mitchell’s death, including one last night and another this morning on Ford Road, near where Mr Mitchell was found deceased.
“We’re pursuing a number of leads and would like to hear from anyone who could help us.”
Senior Sergeant Van Kempen said Police were still seeking any information about a white Toyota Hiace van, registration DFR734, in Ford Road or the surrounding areas on the night the victim died.
“If you have information that can help, please speak with us.”
How to contact Police:
Information reported online at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking “update report”, or by calling 105.
Please use the reference number 251212/4041.

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.
