PORIRUA

Porirua Police have arrested two men in connection with two aggravated robberies over the past few days.

Detective Sergeant Brent Clark of the Porirua CIB says two Waitangirua men, aged 17 and 19 years face will appear in the Porirua District Court tomorrow.

"They are charged with the aggravated robbery of the Venus Chinese Takeaway Shop in Cannons Creek on Sunday evening and the aggravated robbery of the Chicken Shack in Mungavin Ave around 1am this morning."

Detective Sergeant Clark says the victims in both of these incidents were left shaken but unharmed.

"We're pleased to have made quick arrests, as these acts of violence in our community are not tolerated."
