Police have completed their examination of an England Street property in Linwood as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of 21 year old Braydon Hepworth.

The property is believed to be Braydon’s last known address and was the focus of a significant police operation last week, with specialist search teams and forensic staff working at the scene near Hereford Street.

Braydon was last seen on September 3 at the Z service station in Linwood and has not been heard from since.

Detective Senior Sergeant Karen Simmons from Christchurch Metro Crime said the scene examination at the England Street address had now been completed.

She said the operation to understand the circumstances surrounding Braydon’s disappearance was continuing.

Police are again appealing for anyone with information about Braydon’s whereabouts to come forward.
