Police say a retailer in Queens Road, Panmure, was raided at 2am.

Two people entered the store taking a number of items before leaving in the vehicle used in the raid, police said.

Officers are reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to witnesses in order to identify those involved.

Police have said in the 12 months to October last year there were 283 ram raids around the country, more than five a week.

Last month an Auckland mall was struck by ram raiders and electrical goods and clothes were stolen.
