An Auckland mobile phone repair store is the latest to be ram-raided as the crime wave continues to hit the city.
In a statement, police said they were called to a ram-raid at 2:25am on Monday at a mobile phone repair store on Queens Road in Panmure.
"The same vehicle is understood to have left the scene. At around 4am, staff located the vehicle abandoned in Sandra Road, Panmure," Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Anderson said.

He urges anyone with information about the burglary to come forward and speak to police.
"Police are reviewing CCTV and conducting a scene examination this morning to establish the extent of the damage and what was taken," Anderson said.
"Anyone who has any information, which could assist us in our enquiries is asked to contact Police on 105 and quote file number 220926/7962. Information can also be passed on anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111."
The owner told Newshub he had never been ram-raided before but was worried about it happening to the store.
Footage from the scene shows the entrance to the store shattered with the front door lying on the ground inside the shop.
It comes a day after shoppers captured the dramatic moment a group of robbers smashed displays at the Michael Hill jewellery store at The Base shopping centre in Hamilton at about 11am on Sunday.
The group of about seven or eight people are seen in one video smashing displays and taking handfuls of items, while others stand on and leap over the counter.
