Robbery - Mt Roskill, Auckland

At around 10:30am today, 5 July 2010, the White Swan Superette, corner of White Swan and Richardson Rds in Mt Roskill, was the subject of an Aggravated Robbery.

The male offender threatened the two store attendants with a concealed weapon beneath his jacket and demanded money.

A store attendant grabbed a golf club from behind the counter and waved it at the offender, telling him to get out of the shop.

Two customers who came to the store at this time were also requested to call the Police.

The offender did not leave immediately and repeated his demands for money.

The offender finally lost patience with the Attendant when she wouldn't give him money, and instead grabbed the hand-set for the cordless phone out of her hand.

He then ran outside turning left towards Richardson Road.
