A day-time robber of a jewellers is still eluding police, despite his photo being widely displayed and the arrest of others suspected of being accomplices in the crime.
Three people have appeared in court charged with the armed robbery of About Time jewellers in Newmarket on Wednesday, but the man whotrained a gun on terrified staff is still being sought.
The man was caught on security camera film which featured in the New Zealand Herald.
Police say they have an idea who the man is, but cannot find him.
Yesterday the last of those arrested for the crime, Tongan-born Onesi Vaikeli, aged 17, of Freemans Bay, appeared in the Auckland District Court charged with robbing store-owner Chris Grima of 39 watches.
He was remanded in custody, as were his alleged co-offenders, James Lousi, a 20-year-old Mt Roskill disc jockey, and Meetesh Patel, an 18-year-old unemployed Auckland man.
Police want to hear from anyone who saw the getaway cars used in the robbery - a charcoal Mitsubishi and a blue Mazda.
Meanwhile, the men who stole $250,000 worth of jewellery and watches from the same store just before Christmas are also still at large.
Again, a clear picture of one of the men was caught on the surveillance camera.
