Police have released photos from bank security cameras of two people involved in the aggravated robbery of a Whangarei bank.
Police hope members of the public will recognise the offenders or the photos will jog their memories and help police with their investigation because no arrests have been made.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Huys, of Whangarei, said inquiries were continuing in an effort to identify and locate the duo involved in the armed robbery of the ANZ Bank on March 23.
The two heavily-disguised males entered the bank just after 11.30am - one carrying a firearm - and demanded cash from staff before fleeing on foot. Nine staff and two customers were present but no one was injured.
One man was wearing a grey hooded top and dark trousers, while the other a dark-coloured top with a hood and dark trousers. The top had a logo on the back.
Police are also appealing for any sightings of a red 2004 SS Commodore that was in the area at the time of the robbery.
Last month there were unconfirmed social media reports circulating of cash being scooped off the street by a passing motorist after the robbery. Police would not comment.
Moments after the robbery former policeman Gavin Benney, now a Whangarei District Council councillor, spotted the two masked robbers. He stopped the pair but one pointed a gun at him before getting into a red Holden Commodore in Second Ave.
Benney was walking from Forum North to the central library when the masked men ran past him. One was carrying a bag and the other was empty-handed.
