Attributable to Inspector Phil Gillbanks, Acting Eastern Bay of Plenty Area Commander:
A release yesterday stated the two people that had died following a water-related incident in Kawerau were aged 10 and 12.
This is incorrect, the two boys that died were aged 10 and 11.
Police apologise for any confusion that has been caused, and ask media to please update their stories to reflect this.
