Police are working to put a stop to car crimes in the Eastern Bay of Plenty following a ram raid at dairy on Anzac Day.

A young person has been referred to Youth Aid as police continue to investigate two burglaries in Whakatāne on Anzac Day.

About 3.45am on April 25, Police received a report that a vehicle had been used to enter a dairy on Appenzell Drive, and items were taken.

Then about 4.55am, Police were called to Bridge Street, Edgecumbe, following a report of a burglary at a service station, where a window had been smashed and entry gained.

"Yesterday, detectives executed a further search warrant at a Kawerau address, and further items relating to the burglary were recovered. A young person has been referred to Youth Aid."

Police say there are still outstanding offenders in relation to these incidents, and Police are now asking them to come forward.
