Police are looking for two men after a string of robberies over the past two weeks which involve stolen cars from Auckland and Hamilton.

In the latest crime, a Hamilton alcohol store was robbed and cash, alcohol and cigarettes stolen today.

At about 4.30pm, five men entered Kiwi Liquor at 152 Tuhikaramea Road in the suburb of Dinsdale.

At least one of the men was armed with an iron bar and all of the mens' faces were covered with clothing.

"Violence was threatened towards the staff member that was present however no-one was injured," police said in a statement.

The men had arrived in a blue Honda Accord, registration number DSY158, which had been stolen from a property in Pakuranga in south Auckland between 11.30pm last night and 1.20am this morning.

The same vehicle was involved in a petrol drive-off at a Z Service Station in Hamilton this morning.
