A 39-year-old Red Beach man has been arrested in relation to the armed robbery of the ASB Mairangi Bay.
He has been held in custody to appear in the North Shore District Court and faces a charge of Aggravated Robbery.
Police recovered all of the money believed to have been stolen in the robbery, along with a weapon they believe was used.
Detective Sergeant Scott Armstrong from the North Shore CIB said the early arrest and recovery of the money was down to the assistance from the media and members of the public, and the excellent local knowledge of police staff.
Earlier, the police released a CCTV image of the man showing little emotion as he threatened staff at Mairangi Bay ASB.
