I was wondering why we hadn't seen him around in a while.NEW Zealand police are searching for a couple who have allegedly fled with millions of dollars that was accidently deposited into their account.
The couple is understood to have received a $NZ10 million ($7.8 million) deposit after asking Westpac Bank for a $NZ10,000 overdraft, NZPA is reporting.
The couple ran a service station in Rotorua, according to NZPA.
"The individuals associated with this account are believed to have left New Zealand and police (are) working through Interpol to locate those individuals," said Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey of New Zealand Police.
"Westpac Bank has recovered some of the money which had been inappropriately withdrawn."
He did not specific how much had been recovered and refused to confirm any other details about the case.
"At this time I am not prepared to disclose the amount of money involved, name the individuals or business involved, or discuss which country the individuals may be in right now."
I could live with that! I could also spend $400 a day pretty easily.
