Two ramraids are reported in Auckland on Monday. Police arrest three youths following a ram raid at a commercial premises in Glenfield.

Police have arrested three people after a group were involved in a ramraid at Chartwell Food Centre and vape store in Glenfield on Auckland’s North Shore.

Police received a report of a vehicle used to access a commercial premises on Chartwell Ave in Glenfield, just before 1am on Monday.

“A group… subsequently decamped from the scene a couple of minutes later,” a police spokesperson said.

“Eagle has observed a vehicle in the vicinity which has sped off at pace, exiting and returning to the SH1 and 16 motorways numerous times. It has finally exited SH16 at Massey and several [people] have got out of the car and into a second waiting car, with the cars then proceeding in opposite directions.
