A police search for the owner of a car found submerged in the Tairua River is to resume at 7am today.

The search of the Coromandel river's banks began after the man's car was found submerged off Hikuai School Road at 6pm yesterday.

The registered owner of the car had been reported missing just 30 minutes earlier after leaving a friend's house.

The police will start searching for the man again this morning.
