Police are investigating three break-ins at stores across Tāmaki Makaurau overnight.

Just before 3am, officers went to a store in Flat Bush where someone had smashed the glass storefront and stolen items.

At about 3.45am, an alarm was activated at a liquor store on Titirangi Road.

Police found the front window had been smashed, but a safety door had kept the offenders out of the store.

They then discovered another liquor store across the road was also burgled.

It is not known if any of the break-ins are linked.
