Search and rescue efforts continue this morning for three men and a four-year-old child who were reported missing after they failed to reach the Qaranivai Landing as anticipated yesterday.

The four left Cikobia onboard a 40hp white fiberglass boat with “ANA TOKA” written on the side at around 8 am yesterday morning bound for the mainland at Qaranivai Landing. When they failed to arrive, a report was lodged with search and rescue efforts activated.

Search efforts continue today, and Mariners and those living along these coastal areas are requested to call Crimestoppers on 919 or 917 if they have any information or have seen anything that could help with search efforts.
