Three people have been charged following an aggravated robbery at a Grey Lynn liquor store late last week.
Enquiries were led by Operation Rhino staff, after the incident occurred at the store on Great North Road, just after 6pm on 9 December.
Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff Baber says five search warrants were executed across Auckland this week as part of the investigation.
¡°Police have located a number of items of interest to our investigation at these addresses,¡± he says.
¡°At the same time Police arrested three males for the aggravated robbery in Grey Lynn.¡±
Those arrested are males, two aged 14 and one 19-year-old.
All have been charged with aggravated robbery and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
Detective Senior Sergeant Baber says the trio are now before the Auckland District and Auckland Youth Courts.
¡°Operation Rhino continues to investigate offending like burglaries and robberies being committed at retail premises across the Auckland City District.
¡°I would like to acknowledge the ongoing work by our investigation staff in holding these offenders to account, along with the wider support provided by other Policing staff in these matters.¡±
The Police investigation continues and further arrests and charges cannot be ruled out.
ENDS.
