A Rotorua liquor store manager says the shop has been ram raided twice in one week.
At about 4am today police were called to Super Liquor on Fenton Street after a car smashed into the front of the store.
Manager Andre Watson said bollards helped to stop the vehicle but it still caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.
Police said the culprits failed to enter the store and drove off.
Enquiries were continuing.
