Christchurch police are investigating after two burglaries and a ram-raid overnight.

A police spokeperson said at 11.20pm, officers responded to a break-in at a store in High Street.

A group of four offenders were involved using two cars.

Then at 12.40am police were called to a ram raid at a vape store on Riccarton Road.

The car used to gain entry to the store was located in Dallas Street a short time later the police spokesperson said.

The offenders abandoned the car there and left in a second car.  

Both cars had been stolen earlier in the night and matched the description of the cars used in the earlier burglary in High Street.

“Police are following positive lines of enquiry in relation to identifying the offenders involved.”
