Mount Maunganui butcher Doug Jarvis is feeling at the end of his tether after another burglary at his shop.

Local customers and supporters are also angry that thieves keep targeting Doug Jarvis Butcher & Deli.

'I'm getting kicked from all angles,” says Doug, who has experienced theft as well as break-ins, causing thousands of dollars' worth of damage.

'On Saturday night I got a call from the security company who said my alarm was going off. I looked at the camera and saw the doors had been smashed in.”

He says police pulled the car over on Tuesday morning, and he has footage showing the burglars.

'But we can't prove it was them even though I have footage.”

'It's a real nightmare. It's not the meat, but the damage they've done to the shop was thousands of dollars.

'There was no meat in the storage, so the offenders broke into the store.

'On Saturday night they broke into outdoor storage area first, which was empty. It was unlocked but they put a rope around the towbar to drag the chiller about 30 feet. Then they prised the bolts off with a crowbar, opened it and found it empty.

'So they broke in through the back door of the premises. They took about $600 worth of meat but it was the damage they've done that's in the thousands.”

He says his excess insurance has gone.

'It makes my premiums go higher and higher. Soon they won't insure me because I'm becoming a high risk.

'It's the aftermath of it, fixing the doors and repairs, it takes its toll,” says Doug. 'I feel like I'm being targeted.”

Many of Doug's customers and supporters are angry and upset at what he's had to endure.

'Sorry to see this Doug. Why is it that people think it is OK to steal from hard working people & business owners,” writes one person on Doug's Facebook page.

'Not again. Trouble is there are no consequences. As others have said we need to support local businesses and places like this so that they can keep running. They are run by hard working owners and staff and every sale helps. Don't let them beat you,” writes another.

It's not just the overnight break-ins, there's also daylight incidents happening at his shops.

'A girl ran in and snatched a couple of items and ran out,” says Doug. 'She had been in the pharmacy and supermarket and the cameras have the car she was in but it has a wrong numberplate.”

A day earlier, on April 12, Doug posted to his Facebook page about another theft during the day at his Papamoa store.

'It's hard enough trying to keep up with high costs of running a business..this doesn't help..a nice piece of eye fillet whole gone that quickly.”

Doug has camera footage of the thief.

'The alarms went off, he was confronted outside by staff but swore at them and then took off.”

'I'm at the end of my tether,” says Doug. 'Even my staff notice I'm not the same person anymore.”

Police say they received a report about 11.30pm on Saturday that a burglary had occurred at a commercial premises on Owens Place between 9.15 and 9.50pm.

'A scene examination was carried out on Sunday morning,” says a police spokesperson.
