The Western Bay of Plenty District mayor's concerned to see two deaths on the same street within days in Waihi Beach

A 21-year-old man's been charged with murder after another man was found dead on Seaforth Road last night.

A homicide investigation's also ongoing into the death of a 56-year-old nearby on the same road early on Wednesday morning.

Mayor Garry Webber says it's really sad to see it happen in the town, where the population swells 10-fold over summer.

Police are increasing their presence in the town and conducting reassurance patrols - but say there's no risk to the wider community and nothing to suggest the deaths are connected.
