Police have made arrests after a Gisborne dairy was robbed this morning.

Police were notified about the incident at Adi's Dairy at the corner of Childers Road and Chalmers Road shortly after 9.20am.

"Reports indicated the man had a gun of some description." The staff in the shop were shaken up but not injured in the incident, he said.
