Dramatic footage of an Auckland ram raid has been released by police.
Three cars and up to 10 people were involved in the raid at the Z service station in Kumeu at 3.30am yesterday.
One vehicle reversed into the glass doors before robbers entered and stole what police described as a "large amount" of cigarettes and cash.
The lone worker on duty took shelter in the back room and was not injured, Z spokesman Jonathan Hill said.
"We offer counselling services to our staff when something as traumatic like this happens."
