The crew aboard the Police Eagle helicopter had their work cut out for them during the long weekend, assisting with a number of water rescues across Tāmaki Makaurau.

On Saturday evening Police received a report of a boat which had capsized near Kawakawa Bay.

Senior Sergeant Garry Larsen, of the Auckland Marine Rescue Centre, says the two people were reportedly in the water with no lifejackets and appeared to be in distress.
