A hoard of stolen letterboxes has been found dumped in a Whakarewarewa reserve with gang regalia among the mess.

At least half a dozen mailboxes were found abandoned in the corner of a reserve off Froude St on Sunday morning.

Rotorua Police acting area commander Inspector Brendon Keenan said if a member of the public notices their letterbox missing or stolen, they should report it to the police.

"This could be a targeted group of letterboxes," he said.

Residents are asked to report any usual behaviour in their street, especially by truant youths.
