Police are investigating a series of ramraids across Christchurch after about a dozen businesses were targeted within the space of 90 minutes.
Multiple burglaries were reported to police at a number of commercial properties across the city’s western suburbs between 4am and 5.30am on Sunday.
Police said the alleged youth offenders used stolen vehicles to smash their way into shops and restaurants, and taking a “number of items from multiple locations.”
A police spokesperson claimed the offenders deliberately fled the scene and were driving dangerously because they knew police would not pursue them due to the risks.
He said police were not on the scene, but had made this determination from “further enquiries and sightings of the vehicles believed to be involved after the fact.”
