A Taupō electronics store was closed on Wednesday after a burglary in the early hours of the morning.

A One NZ spokesperson said stock was taken.

They did not know how many people were involved in the incident and said a police forensic examination and investigation was ongoing.

”It wasn’t a ram raid. They forced their way through a door,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson did not know how much stock was taken and said a stock take would be completed once the police investigation was finalised.
