Police are investigating a single-car crash near Te Puke, which has left one man dead.
A 34-year-old Tauranga man died instantly, when his car hit a power-pole.
The incident has occurred as the car was travelling south on Manoeka Road, shortly before 1am.
Acting Senior Sergeant Wayne Lambert says the driver lost control on a moderate bend, crashing into the power-pole.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash, but early indications suggest speed and alcohol were involved.
There are calls to address the problem of illegal rubbish dumping in the Bay.
The Western Bay of Plenty District Council is responding to the increased amount of rubbish being dumped, by hiring someone specifically to deal with the issue.
"Fly dumping" as it's known, is not just an eyesore, but presents health and safety risks.
100 tyres have been found dumped under a bridge in the Bay.
Raw animal carcasses and old white-ware are also amongst the rubbish, tainting water supplies.
A 16-year-old youth has been arrested and charged in connection with an aggravated robbery that took place at a business on Boon St last Friday 13th August.
Whakatane Police Senior Sergeant Bruce Jenkins said the business owners decision to install security cameras in her premises had enabled them police to indentify the young male.
Police are looking for a gunman described as a "nasty sadist" after 50 rare sheep were shot.
Some had also been mauled by a dog and were barely alive when found.
Bay of Plenty sheep farmer David Hewitt says he has had trouble sleeping since discovering the massacre last week, fearing the person responsible could return and kill more of the rare breeds.
Because of the value of the sheep their location is being kept secret, other than to reveal the farm is north of the city.
