    Hundreds of Kiwis have reported losses - with one down nearly 250 thousand dollars alone.

    Police say Operation Deadwood has netted 13 people - but they are still looking for others, with arrest warrants issued for Manish Khan, Hitesh Sharma, and Tushar Prabhakar.

    Detective Sergeant Kevin Blackman says the trio are believed to be in Auckland - and are known to frequent SkyCity and the Auckland Airport area.
