Police investigating the aggravated robbery of an elderly woman in Tikipunga last week have made two arrests.
Police have been working tirelessly to find those responsible since the incident on Thursday May 13.
Two women, aged 20 and 27, have today been arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and are due to appear in the Whangārei District Court tomorrow.
