A security guard has been hospitalised after a botched jewellery store robbery in Auckland's Mt Roskill.
CCTV footage shows one of the offenders hitting the guard in the head with a hammer.
Reinforced glass defeated the groups efforts to break into the store.
The guard is reportedly in a stable condition.
In the Waipapa retail centre, near the Bay of Islands, offenders entered the store armed with weapons, and damaged a number of display cabinets.
A staff member was also assaulted in the store, but was not seriously injured.
