Robbery Raines Avenue
Police are investigating an aggravated robbery at a Raines Avenue in Forrest Hill on Sunday 8 August.
Four offenders entered the store just after 4pm on Sunday and stolen the till.
The store owner has suffered minor injuries after being assaulted during the robbery and is understandably shaken by what has occurred.
The four offenders fled in a stolen Subaru, which has since been located near the store. It has since been reported to Police that the offenders have then got into a silver vehicle and fled the area.
Police would like to hear from anyone who recognises any of the four offenders or has any information to assist our investigation.
They can contact Police on 105 quoting the file number 210808/4300. You can also send us a private Facebook message.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
