A surfboard is among the items gone missing following a series of car break-ins in Whakatane.
Three vehicles had been broken into along Alexander Ave overnight Wednesday.
A surfboard on top of one of the vehicles was taken, along with a face plate from a stereo and a number of personal items from the others.
Police are appealing for any information about suspicious behaviour in that area between last Wednesday and Thursday.
