The ANZ Bank in Matamata suffered damage to its glass front on Friday.

A man described as a dissatisfied customer has been arrested after driving a vehicle through the front of a Matamata bank.

Police were alerted after an eyewitness saw the man's vehicle plough into the ANZ bank on Arawa Street about 5.50pm on Friday.

Photos shared on social media show the glass front of the bank badly damaged.

"It looks as though potentially a customer of the bank ... has had some form of dissatisfaction with the bank and, as a result, it looks like he has driven his vehicle into the bank," Waikato Senior Sergeant Wayne Shanks said.

The offender then drove off but was found nearby and arrested. He's since been charged with intentional damage as well as driving offences.

Shanks didn't know the extent of the damage to the bank but there were no reports of anyone being injured or any items stolen.

ANZ closed most of its branches this week as part of measures to combat Covid-19.

There were no reports of other Matamata businesses being damaged in Friday's incident, Shanks said.
