Police have arrested a man over a ram raid and aggravated robbery in Invercargill.

Officers executed a search warrant on Thursday morning in relation to Monday's ram raid on Windsor St and an aggravated robbery at a Centre St store on Wednesday.

They arrested a 27-year-old man, who is due to appear in Invercargill District Court today (Friday), facing charges in relation to the aggravated robbery, including unlawfully taking a vehicle used in the incident.

He's also facing charges in relation to two other stolen vehicles that officers located on the residential property during the search warrant.

These vehicles are believed to have been stolen overnight on Wednesday, and one is understood to have been involved in a ram raid at a store on Bill Richardson Drive on Thursday morning.

The man is also facing a raft of additional charges in relation to other matters. Enquiries remain ongoing into the Windsor Street incident.

Monday and Thursday's Invercargill ram raids were the latest in a spate of ram raids sweeping the country.
