Security guards transporting cash in Auckland have been robbed at gunpoint.
At 11am this morning three "heavily disguised" offenders carrying a firearm approached security guards who were transporting cash back to a security van at the Takanini Southgate shopping complex.
The offenders presented a firearm at the security guards and
made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, said Counties Manukau Police detective sergeant Rob Hunkin.
The trio then fled the scene in an older-style silver Subaru Legacy which has since been recovered in the Bruce Pullman park area.
Police were making area inquiries which included reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to witnesses.
