Police received a call just after midnight on Wednesday morning reporting that a masked offender brandishing a firearm approached bar staff at Quinns Post bar on Ward Street and demanded cash.
“The offender then fled on foot along Ward Street towards Heretaunga College,” Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Todd said
“Bar staff involved were shaken, but not injured, and are being provided Victim Support. There were no patrons in the bar at the time.”
