A car has crashed through the window of the department store Kirkcaldie and Stains in central Wellington.
Police say the car carrying a mother and daughter from the Kapiti Coast smashed through the shop window on Brandon Street as the driver tried to park in a disabled carpark about 3pm on Friday.

Staff were standing behind the window in part of the make-up section at the time of the incident.
One member, Rod Spencer, says it is not the first time something like this has happened, and although staff got a fright they are otherwise okay.
Acting Senior Sergeant Andy Gilbert says the 98-year-old mother and her daughter are shaken after the incident and embarrassed by all the attention.
