Police are investigating a robbery last night at a jewellery store in
Newmarket - the same outlet struck in a ram raid less than two weeks ago.


Investigations were also continuing into the ram-raid on April 12 at the same
location, along with other jewellery store robberies.


Around 7.30pm on Sunday night, police were called with reports of a group of
four people entering the store on Broadway wearing masks.


Police said it is understood the group took a number of items before leaving
in a vehicle.


"The vehicle believed to be involved was located abandoned a short distance
away on Mauranui Avet and has since been towed for further examination.


"Enquiries are ongoing to understand the full circumstances of what has
occurred and a scene examination is being completed this morning."


While no arrests have been made at this stage, police said the investigation
team was working through a number of lines of inquiry.


"As part of this, we are keeping an open mind as to whether these incidents
may be connected.


"Our priority continues to be to locate those responsible and hold them to
account."
