A body has been found on the shore in Redcliffs this morning.

A police spokesperson said police were called at around 8.35am after a member of the public located the body.

The body is believed to have been in the water for some time.

Work will now be undertaken to identify the person, notify their next of kin and establish the circumstances surrounding their death.

Detective Inspector Nicola Reeves told the New Zealand Herald that it did not appear that it was related to the disappearance of Christchurch real estate agent Yanfei Bao.
