More patrols by Whakatāne Police around Awatapu are on the cards after concerns about burnouts in the area.
One resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, told 1XX News "something needs to be done about the burnouts."
Senior Sergeant Helen Hay said police will increase the number of patrols in the area and urge the public to contact them if anything happens.
"If we are able to get there, we will get there as soon as possible," Hay said.
She added they had to attend to some urgent jobs in other areas last night but managed to get to Awatapu "as soon as we could."
