A south Auckland liquor store is the latest to be hit by brazen thieves in a burglary overnight.

Police responded to reports of a burglary around 9.30pm last night after four people smashed their way into the Karaka Liquor Centre on Hingaia Rd.

"They broke the door, and roller door, they got in and got away with a few bottles and smokes," said the manager of the store.

This is the eighth time that the group has been hit.

"Two months ago our Orakei store got hit, our Dominion Road and Richmond Rd stores. It's really frustrating," they said.
