Two men armed with a rifle held up a dairy in Christchurch yesterday taking cash from the till.
Detective Greg Brand said the sole shopkeeper at the Bus Stop Dairy in Opawa Road was confronted by the two at about 7.30pm.
They were last seen getting into a light coloured car parked on nearby Grange Street.
The gunman was described as 1.8m tall, of solid build, wearing a black beanie and dark clothes. The second man was just under 1.8m tall, fat and was also wearing black clothing.
