Further arrest in Masterton aggravated robbery last
week
Wairarapa Police have made a further arrest in
relation to an aggravated robbery at a Church Street house
last Tuesday night (26 July 2011).
Detective Sergeant Bill
Van Woerkom of the Wairarapa CIB says a 22 year old man
was arrested yesterday afternoon and will appear in the
Masterton District Court later today charged with
aggravated robbery and wounding with intent.
This
follows the arrests of two men, aged 39 and 23, a week
ago.
It's alleged that at around 11 o'clock on Tuesday 26
July, three men entered a Church Street address and
presented a firearm at the two occupants, assaulting the
male occupant. A short time later, Police were then called
to an incident in Colombo Road where a man had been
seriously assaulted.
Detective Sergeant Van Woerkom says
Police are no longer seeking Paul Anthony Thompson in
relation to this
incident.
