A cigarette cabinet was stolen in one of two commercial break-ins in Christchurch.
Police said during the attempt to break into the first property - shortly after 2am on Wednesday - the alarm and fog cannon were set off, and the would be offenders left the scene.
They left behind several items which police said would be forensically examined.
Police 15 minutes later received a call that a car had been driven into the front door of the Kwik Kiwi Diner nearby in Wigram.
CCTV footage showed several offenders carrying a cigarette cabinet out of the diner.
Enquiries are ongoing, but police said anyone offered cheap cigarettes should call 111.
