Police investigating an aggravated robbery at Hamilton bank yesterday are following strong lines of enquiry.
The aggravated robbery of security staff uplifting cash from a Northgate bank was reported to Police at 12.45pm yesterday.
The security staff were confronted by three men with weapons, who stole a quantity of cash.
The offenders left in a light green/light gold-coloured Subaru station wagon, registration number KNR252 (pictured).
This vehicle was found abandoned in Pukete, and Police believe the offenders left the Pukete area in another vehicle.
