A shop that was ram raided last night has been hit for the third time this year, with police still looking for the culprits.
Police attended a ram raid overnight at Chartwell Food Centre on Chartwell Ave, Glenfield, at 2.43 am.

A stolen vehicle was abandoned at the scene and has since been towed.
Police said in a statement their investigations were continuing.
“The premise was fitted with fog cannons which were activated and the offenders fled prior to Police arrival.
“Police are working with the property owners to determine whether anything was taken.
“The vehicle used was left at the scene and has since been towed for forensic inquiries.
