Business owners in Auckland's beachside suburb Takapuna are shocked that a prominent Michael Hill store has been the repeated target of ram raids - so much so that it's closed while the company looks at beefing up security measures.
The jewellery chain has 48 stores in New Zealand and the Takapuna store has been hit by ram-raids and smash-and-grabs three times this year.
It's left the local community reeling.
Takapuna Beach Business Association chief executive Terence Harpur spoke to Kim Hill.
