Search Continues For Missing Invercargill Man

Police in Southland are continuing efforts to find missing Invercargill man Kevin Belling, who has now been missing for nearly four weeks.

The 62-year-old was reported missing on Sunday 18 January. He was last seen at his Motu Rimu farm on Friday 9 January and has not been heard from since.

Police Search and Rescue, along with LandSAR teams, have carried out extensive searches across several areas. Most recently, efforts were focused on his property on Caeser Road in Kapuka, where teams searched on foot and used a drone to try and locate him.

Detective Sergeant John Kean said, “Unfortunately, Kevin has not been found and Police continue to appeal for any information that could help us find him.”

He added, “It is very unusual for Kevin to not be in contact with anyone for this long, and Police and his loved ones have serious concerns for his welfare.”

Police are calling on the public to remain alert and to check their rural properties for any signs of Kevin.

Anyone who may have seen anything or has information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Police by calling 105 and referencing file number 260118/6964.
