Bennett is thought to have driven up the Manganui Road in a car, answering a description of the one taken from Wanganui. The car was seen by a settler’s wife, who communicated with the police. The car later was found abandoned, and was recovered by the police. A man was seen walking on the load, and subsequently a Waverley bank cheque-book and other articles, were found, three miles from Awakino. . The police are still searching in the wooded country.
