The search has resumed today for a missing teenage boy who got into difficulty at a popular Bay of Plenty beach two days ago.
The boy reportedly got caught in a rip while swimming with friends on Waihi Beach on Friday at around 12.40pm, police said in a statement.
Today's search will again be assisted by Waihi Beach surf lifeguards using inflatable rescue boats and jet skis.
It comes after three people drowned in the last 48 hours, including a young boy.
