A terrified worker was alone inside a South Auckland service station this morning as 11 people smashed their way inside. A similar incident occurred at another Z station last week, and he was aware of rival service stations also being affected, Mr Hill said. The male staff member was working at Z Station on the corner of Great South Rd and Taka St in Takanini about 12.15am when the frightening incident unfolded. "Three vehicles came onto the site with 11 people in them and they tried to smash the front doors. Z spokesman Jonathan Hill said the man was physically unhurt, but it was a "very traumatic event for our guy".
