To be attributed to Detective Sergeant Tim Sterne:
Christchurch Police are investigating an aggravated robbery at The Liquor Store in Lincoln Road yesterday.
Two people entered the store at around 9pm, armed with a baseball bat and a hammer.
They threatened the staff member and stole money from the till, before fleeing on foot.
They were last seen heading south on Domain Terrace.
The first person was wearing a black bucket hat, a yellow hi-vis vest over a long sleeved hi-vis top, and black shorts with camo leggings underneath. They were also wearing a black face mask and black gloves.
The second person was wearing a black t-shirt, with an image on the front which is possibly Hells Angel-related and ‘New Zealand’ on the back. They were also wearing a black backpack and carrying a light-coloured baseball bat with the word ‘COMBAT’ in black writing.
Police would like to hear from anyone who can help us identify these two people, or anyone who was in the area around the time of the robbery who may have information which could assist our enquiries.
If you can help, please call 105 and quote file number 210929/3279.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
