Auckland has been hit by a spate of ram-raids on Saturday morning as the city continues to deal with a crime wave.
Police said in a statement they were alerted to the ram-raid at Liquorland on Lunn Ave in Mt Wellington just after 4am.
Police said a fog cannon was activated during the burglary.
"A police officer on the scene took two males into custody straight away," police said. "A police dog unit attempted to track several other people believed to have been involved but did not locate them."
Police said an 18-year-old man was charged with burglary and unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle and a 25-year-old man was charged with burglary, breaching bail, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and driving while suspended.
