Invercargill police are investigating two robberies in the southern city last night.
They happened within 50 minutes of each other. The first, about 10.50pm, was at the Tay St Night n' Day on the corner of Lindisfarne and Tay streets.
About 11.40pm, the Dee St Night n' Day on the
corner of Dee and Hensley streets was also robbed and police believe the two are linked.
In each case a man has entered the shops and asked female workers for money, police say, and at the Dee St Night n' Day, the man brandished a weapon.
The threats were in vain however, as in both cases, the man left empty handed.
