Five young people have been caught on camera smashing a car into a Christchurch supermarket, only to leave with coins from a charity donation box and a few packets of candy.
The cost of the Fendalton Supervalue ramraid on Friday morning will be almost exclusively borne by the senseless damage, and a few packets of Mentos mints, says the supermarket owner, who Stuff agreed not to name.
It was the second break-in in two months where thieves left more or less empty-handed.
At 5.25am police responded to a ramraid burglary at the supermarket. A police spokesperson said the stolen vehicle was later located on Racecourse Rd however work to identify and locate the thieves was still under way.
