Police in Auckland are investigating an aggravated robbery at a service station on Monday.
Officers were called to the station on Coronation Road, in Māngere Bridge, about 9.10pm.
A group of five used hammers to smash windows, entering the building, before taking a number of items, including cigarettes.
The sole employee was left shaken but uninjured.
This is the seventh robbery targeting petrol stations across the city in recent days.
Police say they are working hard to find those responsible and hold them to account.
