A North Shore business is cleaning up after it was ram-raided on Thursday morning as a crime spree continues.
The ram raid happened at a stationery store on Pearn Cres, Northcote just after 3:15am.
"It is understood a vehicle was used to gain entry," a police spokesperson said.
Photos from the scene show the entire front door smashed in and shattered glass littered on the ground.
It is unknown if anything was taken from the store.
Police said the vehicle was abandoned at the scene and has since been towed for forensics.
"At this stage, our enquiries are ongoing to determine the circumstances, including what was taken and who is responsible," the spokesperson said.
"Anyone with information that may assist is asked to contact police via our 105 phone service or online at https://www.police.govt.nz/use-105, using update my report. Please reference file number 230420/5422.
"Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111."
It comes just a day after a dairy and a fruit and vegetable store in south Auckland were targeted by thieves, who also left a trail of destruction.
Two days ago, two Auckland supermarkets were targeted in smash-and-grabs while a mall and dairy were ram-raided last week.
