A Carnarvon supermarket owner has only had his business for three weeks, but in that time there have been three major incidents.
In the most recent, Craig Becker's store was ram raided in the early hours of Monday morning, with a stolen car used to slam into a side wall.
"The first week we had an ATM smashing inside the shop, and that's not been working for two weeks now while we wait for parts," he said.
"Last week they broke in, smashing in the back window and jumping through and they got coins and smokes and drinks.
"This week, obviously, they've ram raided through the brick walls."
Increased security
Mr Becker said while only a small number of items were stolen in the latest break-in, it is expected to cost at least $50,000 to repair because of the structural damage to the wall.
He said he would be putting additional security measures in place.
"You've got to enforce everything now; you've got to put bollards so they can't drive through things," he said.
"We're looking to upgrade around every door, entrance, vent, everything, it's getting beyond the joke."
Senior Sergeant Mark Ardley alleged the stolen car was later used in a ram raid on an office equipment store in the centre of town.
"They've used that same vehicle and ran into the rolling shutter up there, which was over the windows, providing them access into the property, where they've stolen a number of iPhones and other electrical equipment."
Police said the ram raids happened between 1am and 2am on Monday and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
Police priority
Senior Sergeant Ardley said the car had been stolen from a residential property, and later abandoned and set alight in the Brockman area.
"I'm not saying it doesn't happen, or it hasn't happened in the past but this is certainly out of the ordinary for Carnarvon," he said.
"We are throwing all our resources at it."
"We're actually trying to get some extra additional resources up here to try and jump on it as quick as we can."
