Police in New Zealand are searching for a couple who disappeared after a banking blunder deposited NZ$10m (£3.9m, US$6m) in their account.

The couple had applied for a NZ$10,000 overdraft but received NZ$10m in their business account instead, part of which they withdrew, local media report.

They are said to have run a service station in Rotorua, North Island

I now wonder what I would do if so many bucks found their way to my bank account. However I would not be so lucky to have such a temptation. I expect they may be here on my little tropical Island. Is there a reward? lol
