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.
