A Rotorua dairy and liquor store have been held up at knifepoint.
A police spokeswoman said officers were alerted to the robbery of the two premises on Otonga Rd in Springfield just before 7.30pm yesterday.
A man allegedly presented a knife, stole items from both businesses and left in a
waiting vehicle, the spokeswoman said.
Police found the vehicle outside a premise in central Rotorua and arrested one person, the spokeswoman said.
A 27 year-old-man is expected to appear in Rotorua District Court today charged with aggravated robbery and theft.
