Police were last night hunting three men who robbed a West Auckland bank at gunpoint of what is believed to be thousands of dollars.

Officers were called to the ASB Bank at the Westgate Shopping Centre in Massey shortly before closing time of 5pm.

Three balaclava-clad men, at least two of them holding guns, had confronted an Armourguard security guard at the entrance and run off with a container of money.

No gunshots were fired and no one was hurt.
