Michael Hill is leaving its Takapuna store bordered up indefinitely. The shop has been hit by ram raids and smash and grabs three times this year, making it Michael Hill Jewellers' most targeted store.
In the most recent raid last week thieves used a car to smash into the shop on Hurstmere Road.
The jewellery store announced new security systems across its branches less than a week ago, including DNA tracking spray, more security guards, fog cannons and personal alarms for staff.
The news the Takapuna store will remain closed shocked some locals, who spoke to our reporter Felix Walton.
