Anderson was wanted in relation to an aggravated robbery at a Liffiton St property in Wanganui on November 10. He was arrested after the Armed Offenders Squad and officers cordoned off a house in College St, Palmerston North.

Tipene, a known associate of Anderson, was wanted for outstanding warrants. He was also arrested at a Palmerston North property.

Palmerston North and Whanganui police thanked the public for help catching the two men.
