Fire crews have been battling a commercial property fire in South Auckland overnight after a suspected botched ram-raid.
The incident involved a vehicle that appeared to have been reversed into the roller garage-style doors at a motorcycle shop in Otara.
Photos from the scene show the vehicle completely destroyed by fire. A firefighter can be seen blasting water onto the front of the building, which has also suffered damage from the fire and the vehicle.
A witness told the Herald firefighters attacked the blaze from the inside, while an engine ladder was used to fight the fire from the outside.
