Auckland burglaries: Teens arrested after allegedly smashing their way into a service station and a retail store, three other shops also hit overnight

Auckland police were kept busy overnight as they responded to a spate of burglaries across several suburbs.

Police have arrested a 13 and 14-year-old after ram raids in Epsom and Pukekohe.

The duo are alleged to have first smashed their way into a BP service station on Manukau Rd in Epsom around 2.55am.

It is alleged they then hit a retail store on King St in Pukekohe around 3.46am. They too fled from this scene and when signalled by police officers allegedly failed to stop.

"Eagle has maintained observation of the vehicle and spikes were successfully deployed with the vehicle eventually coming to a stop in the Manurewa area," a police spokesperson said.
