Ram raids: business owner has 'barely slept' since

From First Up, 5:50 am on 11 May 2022

An Auckland shop owner whose store was ram raided early Monday morning says it's the second time in as many months that he's been targetted by thieves. Vinod Ranchhod says he's barely slept since thieves drove a car through his store front, while he hasn't made a single sale this week while the shop is boarded up. It's among a spate of recent ram raids, which have the government scrambling to beef up police resources to protect businesses. Matthew Theunissen reports.
