Aggravated robbery of Whangarei dairy
Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of a dairy in Whangarei yesterday afternoon.
About 1.50pm three men, with their faces disguised, entered Ye Corner Dairy on Crawford Crescent, Kamo.
They demanded cash from the shopkeeper and then hit him on the head with a solid object. The shopkeeper received a minor
injury from the assault.

some cash, cigarettes and other items.
