Police are searching for those responsible for the ramraid.
The incidents come after five businesses were targeted on Sunday night in Canterbury, including Sharkey’s bar in Hoon Hay, which had now been broken into six times since Christmas.
As of 5pm on Monday, there had been no arrests in relation to the five burglaries, and police were looking at whether the incidents were linked.
It follows a string of ramraids in the city in the past year.
