Police search Petone Beach when a foot was first found by a member of the public on March 25.
Police have resumed investigation in the water off Petone Beach in Wellington after a foot was found by a member of the public last month.
On March 25, a foot was found in a shoe, prompting a search and investigation by police. Police had since found no items related to the foot and three days later, ended all searches on water and on land.
However, a police spokesperson confirmed that investigations were ongoing and that the police boat Lazy Elizabeth IV and the National Dive Squad had continued to search the area on Monday.
Police were awaiting further details of the pathology tests and results, the spokesman said.
Following the discovery, police were seen scouring the beach between the Petone Settlers Museum and the pier.
Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Williamson previously said it was not being treated as a murder investigation.
