POLICE APPEAL: Aggravated Robbery Whangārei
Northland Police are appealing for information in relation to an aggravated robbery in Tikipunga, Whangārei, yesterday.
“Police responded to reports that a vehicle had been stolen by two offenders,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Michelle Harris, of Northland CIB. “Members of the public were left shaken after two-armed males allegedly forced a woman from her vehicle.”
The vehicle fled at speed, damaging four other vehicles in the process. Help from the public yesterday assisted Police to locate and arrest the pair at a nearby property. A number of weapons were also seized.
“Police are appealing to anyone who witnessed anything at the Paramount Plaza yesterday between 1230pm and 2pm to please contact Police. We are also interested in any CCTV footage or cell phone footage of the incident”
Det Snr Sgt Harris says. “We’d be grateful for anyone with information contacting Police as soon as possible.”
The two men appeared in the Whangārei District Court today on charges of aggravated robbery and demands to steal.
Police enquiries are ongoing, and anyone with information that can assist with our enquiries is asked to update us online now or call 105. Please use file number 250604/4542
