The white hatchback car was showed on a streamed video with registration plate number TTP2-7.
It was unclear when did the incident happen.
There were no reports of injuries.
Onlookers can be overheard saying no one was inside the car when it was pulled out of the water.
A car seat with yellow and black colours, spotted on the foreshore close to the where the car was removed, was said to be from the car in question.
The person who streamed the incident provided no further details.
The incident came after a car was pulled from the Tu’imatamoana wharf early this year following police desperate search for a missing man. Police later said at the time the body of the missing man Talanoa Leakona Lemoto was found inside the car.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
