About this listen

Ambulances have been seen coming and going from the site of a major search operation at the base of Mount Maunganui.

Multiple people remain unaccounted for after yesterday morning's landslide, with crews working through the night to shift a massive amount of dirt and debris.

A source has told the Herald as many as nine people are potentially trapped.

Herald Senior Investigative Reporter Michael Morrah is on the scene and told John McDonald there's a huge amount of activity.

He says the disaster identification team, search and rescue team, and sniffer dogs are working through the debris.
