Four people were allegedly involved in the burglary at the Paengaroa Country Store on Old Coach Rd about 1.40am, a police spokeswoman said.

During a burglary a quantity of cash was taken and there was damage to the front of the store caused by a vehicle, she said.

The offenders fled the scene and although officers conducted immediate area searches no one of interest was found.

The store is currently closed and staff declined to comment when approached by the Bay of Plenty Times.
