A car has smashed through the window of Rebel Sport in Taupō.
A police media spokeswoman said the crash, on Taniwha St, happened about 5.35am today.
The occupants then left the scene in another vehicle, she said.
At this stage it is unclear whether anything was stolen from the property and police remain at the scene making inquiries.
Silhouette Fitness Taupō owner Jude Pattie-Nelson, based next door to Rebel Sport, said it was not the first time a vehicle had crashed into that particular store.
