Staff say one car rammed a Vodafone store and the neighbouring Bottle-O in Walters Road about 2am on Tuesday.

The liquor store owner says it was the second raid in six weeks.

He said they installed a security grille two weeks ago costing $10,000 and he doubted his insurance would cover a replacement.
