Two po­lice of­fi­cers and a hunter are be­ing hailed for their brav­ery in find­ing two lost hik­ers in the North­ern Range on Sun­day evening.

Po­lice said the of­fi­cers PC Rochford and PC Kissoon were on pa­trol in Tu­na­puna when they re­ceived a re­port of two lost hik­ers some­where be­tween Cau­ra and Lopinot.

The of­fi­cers were told that one of the hik­ers made con­tact with po­lice us­ing his cell­phone.

Rochford and Kissoon drove to La Pas­to­ra Vil­lage, Lopinot, where they met with a vil­lager who lead them through the hill­side forests.

Ac­cord­ing to the po­lice re­port, of­fi­cers searched the area for four hours be­fore they found the hik­ers five kilo­me­tres north west of Lopinot Vil­lage.

Of­fi­cers and the hunter led the men back to La Pas­to­ra Vil­lage where they were in good health.
