Vehicle appeal after attempted robbery in Tauranga
Tauranga Detectives are appealing for information about a vehicle seen around the Argyll Road/ Tyrone Street area, at
the time of an attempted robbery at a dairy on Wednesday evening.
At 6.45pm on 17 August 2016, two men entered the Carlisle Street dairy armed with a plastic pistol and a knife.

One of the offenders was wearing dark blue trousers with a reflectorized band around the knee.
They were last seen running down Tyrone Street and getting into a car that's been described as silver and a modern
shape.
