A Whanganui man was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery after an incident in Palmerston North.
Police senior sergeant Dave Thompson said police responded to reports of a robbery at a commercial premises on Rangitikei St at around 10am on Tuesday morning.
Thompson said the offender entered the store and
presented a weapon before taking cash from a till.
After fleeing the scene, police found the offender in a nearby street.
“It is always of great concern when this type of offending occurs during the day and especially when members of the public are so close,” Thompson said.
