A dairy in Canterbury was targeted by burglars for the third time on Thursday morning.

Police said they were called to a commercial premises at Prebbleton in the Selwyn district after a ram-raid burglary about 3.35am.

Items were taken and they are making enquiries into the incident.

A spokesperson for the Prebbleton Dairy on Springs Rd confirmed it happened at their store.

"It is basically the third time," he told the Herald.

A post on the Prebbleton Community group on Facebook on April 27 said someone smashed into the front door of the dairy and "steal a few things."

Last week, Barkers' Convenience Store in Hornby was targeted with the offenders taking "a lot" of cigarettes.

A few days before that incident on May 13, there was another ram-raid and attempted burglary at the On The Spot on Hamill Rd in Halswell.

A vehicle was located at the scene but it did not appear anything was taken from the premises.
