Rebel Sport Whakatāne has been damaged and burgled overnight in what police believe was a ram raid.
A police spokeswoman said a report came through at 4.25am of "a car having driven through the window of a retailer on Phoenix Drive, Whakatāne, and the property was burgled".
"Police attended but the offenders had already left the scene. Inquiries into the incident are ongoing."
A Rotorua Daily Post reporter at the scene shortly before 9am this morning said "staff were cleaning broken glass and water from the front of the store".
