Aggravated robbery - can you help Christchurch Police?
Christchurch Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of a petrol station on Blenheim Road.
At around 4.40am four men entered the store armed with hammers and a crow bar.
They threatened the store attendant and stole cigarettes and tobacco products.
The store attendant was not injured, but is shaken by the incident and is being supported by Police.
The offenders left the scene in a stolen silver Mazda Familia with the registration number FJF309.
The Mazda was stolen from a Riccarton address last night between the hours of 7pm and 10pm.

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)
