Would-be thieves have failed in their attempt to ram raid an East Auckland store when the car they were using got wedged on protection bollards.
Around 2.45am, police responded to reports of a vehicle crashed into Kiwi Liquor store on Jellicoe Rd, Panmure, a police spokesperson said.
The vehicle was understood to have been used in an attempt to gain entry into the premises, they said.
“However, has failed due to the roller door.
“The occupants have abandoned the vehicle at the scene and our enquiries are currently underway to locate them.”
