Police are appealing for
information following an aggravated robbery of the
Collingwood Foodcentre on North Road, Invercargill.

staff members with a knife before leaving with cash and
tobacco.
The offender was around 182cm tall and wore a
grey hoodie, blue jeans / chinos, a black balaclava and
sunglasses.
While the victims were not injured in the
incident, they are understandably very shaken and are
receiving support.
Police urge anyone with information
that may assist this investigation, or anyone who saw
anything suspicious in the area, to call 105 quoting file
number 191109/3839.
Information can also be provided
