Macquarie Local Area Command Acting Inspector Peter Neville confirmed officers were involved in an search operation on a remote property west of Port Macquarie on the weekend.
“Police conducted a search operation looking for an Aboriginal man wanted in connection to stealing offences out our way,” he said.
“Investigations into the matter are continuing.”
Two possible sightings of Malcolm Naden were made last Wednesday in Birdwood, 77km west of Port Macquarie by a woman and her grandson.
Inspector Neville said the thought that the man involved in their manhunt was Naden is “purely speculation”.
Naden, who would now be 37, is wanted by police in relation to the death of 24-year-old mother-of-two Kristy Scholes in Dubbo and the alleged aggravated indecent assault of a 15-year-old girl in 2004.
Naden is a suspect in the disappearance of Lateesha Nolan who was last seen on January 4, 2005.
Naden is 177cm tall, 85kg with medium build, brown eyes, a shaved head and possibly a moustache or beard.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can be given anonymously.
