Officers say a Nissan Primera - stolen from a Riccarton home yesterday - was reversed through the glass doors of Henry's Liquor Store, on Yaldhurst Road, about 2.20am today.

Two people got out of the car and took alcohol which they loaded into another car that pulled up outside.

Three people drove off in that car, abandoning the stolen vehicle and leaving it still running, in the liquor store.
