Around 100 pairs of sunglasses were stolen within minutes in a smash-and-grab at a Tauranga eye clinic this morning.
Tauranga Eyecare by Langford Callard director and optometrist Celia Cutfield told the Bay of Plenty Times the Cameron Rd building’s alarm went off at 3.20am, and security arrived seven minutes later to find the glass front door smashed.
“A load of sunglasses were taken … about a hundred pairs. There was a bit of damage and glass everywhere, but it doesn’t appear they took anything else.”
Cutfield said it was the first time anything like that had happened there.
“It’s not a nice feeling,” she said.
