Waipukurau police are investigating a burglary after the front door of Pure Sports and Leisure was smashed overnight and clothing stolen - the second heist in the small town in two nights.
Pure Sports and Leisure owner Judy Hartstone said it "wasn't the best call to get at 1am" after a thief set off alarms which alerted a security company.
On security footage the single offender - whose head is covered - runs into the shop, grabs items off a clothing rack and sprints off, angling across Ruataniwha St towards Ruahine Motors.
Hartstone said items taken were Canterbury, Under Armour and Puma hooded sweatshirts and Stoney Creek t-shirts, all with security tags attached.
Police located some of the stolen items on the ground behind the Yellow Container cafe, and have carried out forensic testing at the sports shop - which was open for business as usual after repairs to the front door.
