Three burglars have driven a car into a Te Awamutu dairy and made off with cigarettes and chocolate.
The ram raid left glass strewn all over the footpath outside Puniu Rd Dairy.
Waikato Senior Sergeant Shelley Begbie said the three offenders dumped the car near the dairy after the raid.
Puniu Rd resident Rosemary Brandon woke up to a loud bang at 5.20am.
"I got a big fright - I thought someone was breaking into my flatmate's vehicle parked on the driveway."
