Police are appealing to the public for information following the aggravated robbery of a cash-in-transit van in Milford.
North Shore Area Investigations Manager Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray said the incident took place around 1.05pm yesterday behind the Milford Shops on Kitchener Rd on the North Shore.
A passenger who was sitting in the back seat of a vehicle approached the victims and presented a weapon before taking off with a sum of cash, said Murray, saying no one was injured in the incident
The offenders fled from the scene in a stolen 2006 black Subaru wagon, which has been linked to another incident earlier this week where a female had her bag snatched.
The earlier incident took place on Tuesday, also around 1pm, where a male came up from behind a victim who was sitting on a public bench on Birkenhead Ave and stole her bag, before fleeing the scene in the same Subaru wagon.
