A three-car ram-raid at Ormiston Town Centre in southeast Auckland about 1am yesterday is believed to involve 16 youths.
It's part of a spate of ram raids including attacks on Henderson's WestCity,Tauranga's Papamoa Four Square and a West Auckland petrol station.
Detective Inspector Karen Bright says different types of crime spike over time - and this is happening nationwide.
She says the majority of offenders involved are really young and it involves stealing cars, fleeing and driving into buildings.
