At about 1.35 pm today the BNZ Bank in Upper Hutt was robbed by a male.
The offender did not have any weapons with him but handed over a note to the teller.
He escaped with an undisclosed sum of money but was seen by a bank employee and followed to his vehicle. The employee took a photo of the vehicle which he was able to give to police.
A short time later police located the vehicle at an address in Upper Hutt. It was stopped by armed police after it left the address around 2.45 pm.
A 41 year old male from Lower Hutt has been arrested and charged with robbery. The cash has been recovered.
The male will appear in the Upper Hutt District Court tomorrow.
He has also been charged with the Upper Hutt Westpac Bank robbery of 4 August 2009.
