"Appeal to identify 4 men who robbed a woman in
Tokoroa"
Tokoroa Police are appealing for the public’s
help to identify four men who robbed a woman on Bridge
Street, Tokoroa, on Wednesday 19 April 2017.
At around
8pm, the woman parked her black five-door car on Bridge
Street near Mannering Street and crossed the road to use the
BNZ ATM.
When she returned to her car a short time later,
four unknown men approached her from behind and robbed her
of her wallet which contained an amount of cash.
Although
not physically injured, the woman was left shaken by the
incident.
The four men are described as Maori or Pacific
Islander, possibly in their early 20s, and of medium
build.
All of them wore dark clothing with
hoodies.
Anyone with information about the robbery or who
may know the identity of the offenders is urged to contact
Tokoroa Police on 07 885 0100.
Alternatively information
can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800
555111.
