Locals in the Bay of Plenty town of Kawerau are frustrated and angry that yet another shop was ram raided overnight.

It is the fourth instance of a shop being smashed by a car at a time of increased burglaries in the town.

Earlier this month, the Mayor Malcolm Campbell's butchery -- which had been there for almost 50 years - was not only ram raided but also set on fire. 

Mr Campbell speaks to Māni Dunlop.
