Security footage of five masked men storming a Christchurch petrol station overnight has been released by police.
In the latest armed hold-up of a city service station – the third in just over a week – the five offenders burst in to a Caltex service station on Main North Rdin Redwood shortly after midnight.
Two of the men were armed – one with a crowbar, and one with a tomahawk.

They demanded cash and cigarettes before fleeing in a car that was later found abandoned.
Police say "fortunately nobody was seriously injured in the incident".
Now, they are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
At least three of the offenders were wearing "Starter" caps with the silver sticker label on the peak, police said.
Anyone with information that could assist police in identifying and locating the offenders is asked to call Christchurch Police on 03 363 7400. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
