A central city automotive store has been targeted in a destructive ram raid, with thousands of dollars of tools being stolen.
Extreme Automotive on 2nd Ave was targeted by burglars in a ram raid about 2.30am yesterday.
Branch manager Steve Hancox said someone drove through the front door and stole about $10,000 worth of tools from its SP Tools range.
Mr Hancox said some of the store's branches in Auckland had been targeted in a similar way, with just SP Tools gear stolen.
