Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

An Auckland wine store is “still standing” after a string of burglaries over the holiday season resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars.

Glengarry Wines​ retail store in Mount Eden was hit by thieves three times in the span of 13 days, Liz Wheadon​ said.

“The first robbery was on December 23, then we were hit again on December 31, and on January 5,” she said.
