Police seek robbery victim following arrests
Auckland City Police are seeking the victim of an aggravated robbery in Ellerslie yesterday afternoon to come forward.
Six people have been arrested over the offending which occurred at the Ellerslie Train Station.
Sergeant Tim Roberts, of Mt Wellington Police, says the victim left the area before Police could speak with her.
“Auckland Transport contacted Police at around 2pm, after observing the offending take place,” he says. “A group have allegedly stood over the victim in a threatening manner, taking her personal belongings before the victim has fled visibly upset.”
Sergeant Roberts says the offenders left the scene onboard a train, with camera operators tracking their movements. “Thanks to the expert eye of a Police camera operator, they have been tracked on the rail network with Police units being directed to Newmarket Train Station, and all six people were taken into custody,” he says.
An 18-year-old woman has now been charged with aggravated robbery and will appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow.
Five other offenders, all youth, are being referred to Police Youth Aid over the offending.
The Police focus is now on identifying the victim. “This woman was wearing a grey hooded top with a NASA space agency logo on the front,” Sergeant Roberts says.
“We want to contact you to make sure you are okay and to ensure there is further support in place for you.
If this is you, or you know who this woman is, please contact Police.”
You can contact Police on 105 using the reference number 260302/5584.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
