Four teenagers have been arrested following an early morning ram-raid in the Wellington suburb of Miramar on Thursday.
Police were called to a store on Tauhinu Road shortly after 2.10am after reports of multiple alarms going off.
The front door was smashed, and a car was left at the scene.
A police dog unit tracked the alleged offenders from the store to a house on Booth Street, Miramar.
Officers discovered the teenagers, a stolen car and a large amount of alcohol stolen from the shop.
Wellington Commander Inspector Dean Silvester said he was happy to have identified the alleged thieves so quickly.
A 16-year-old, two 17-year-olds and a 19-year-old have appeared at Wellington District Court, and were bailed to reappear later this month.
