The Super Liquor store in Dargaville was ram raided early this morning, police say.
A police spokeswoman said they were notified just before 3am that a car had been used to gain entry into a store 20 minutes earlier on Victoria St.
A stolen car was found abandoned nearby this morning and the spokeswoman said inquiries were under way to see if the offenders could be identified and located.
An image shared on a community Facebook page showed damage to the front of the shop.
