On Sunday 7 May 2017 at 2pm two males entered the Carlisle Dairy on Carlisle Street Greerton, Tauranga. One of the males was armed with a hammer and threatened the shop assistant.

Two men, one armed with a hammer and wearing purple underwear, have been caught on CCTV robbing a Tauranga dairy.

The Carlisle Dairy in Greerton was targeted by two men who threatened the shop assistant and stole cash and cigarettes on Sunday afternoon.

One male was wearing a light grey Starter branded hooded top, black pants and what appeared to be purple underwear.

The second male was wearing a dark hooded top, black pants and carrying a black and red backpack.

The men forced the shop assistant to the till area while they filled the backpack with cash and cigarettes.
