This is the moment a robber pointed his weapon at a Hamilton dairy attendant in a brazen robbery yesterday.

The man threatened the woman behind the counter at Manhattan Pricecutter in Grey St about 9.30am.

Detective Sergeant Neville Ross said the man demanded cash and tobacco but left with only $80 and a packet of cigarettes.

The offender was believed to be Maori, with a light complexion, tall, thin and aged in his late teens or early 20s.
