North Shore bank robbed

A robber who was possibly armed has robbed a bank on Auckland's North Shore this afternoon.

North Shore CIB said a male Caucasian robbed the Albany ANZ on Mercari Way about 2.05pm.

"He demanded cash and inferred he was in possession of a firearm," police said.

"An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen but no injuries were sustained in the incident. The male then left the bank on foot toward Corinthian Drive carrying a black strapped satchel."

The man was wearing a fawn/brown long sleeve jumper with thin black horizontal stripes and a blue/grey baseball cap.

Anyone who may have information about the robbery or the offender is asked to call North Shore CIB.
