Police have charged a man with at least two aggravated robberies in Counties Manukau, as enquiries continue.
The man is facing a number of charges following aggravated robberies at a restaurant in Meadowlands on 4 November and a Clover Park liquor store on 2 December.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Hunkin, Counties Manukau CIB, says the worker hospitalised following the Clover Park incident is now recovering at home from his ordeal.
¡°Enquiries had been ongoing to locate this man, when he was taken into custody in Onehunga following an unrelated incident on Tuesday.¡±
Detective Senior Sergeant Hunkin says it is pleasing an arrest has been made for these incidents.
¡°We hope the news that someone has now been put before the Court brings some reassurance to these victims after their ordeals.
¡°Police are continuing to make enquiries and we cannot rule out further charges being laid.¡±
The 36-year-old man first appeared in the North Shore District Court today, where he has been remanded in custody to reappear on 21 December.
