Police search for local hero after aggravated robbery of Massey PostShop
Waitemata Police are appealing for information after the aggravated robbery of the Royal Heights PostShop in Massey Saturday morning. Just after 9.30am a person entered the PostShop on Royal Rd and pointed a pistol at a female worker before running off with an amount of cash.
Several Good Samaritans gave chase and followed the suspect down a service lane between the Countdown and Mobil service station and out onto Moire Road. One of the Good Samaritans recovered an amount of cash dropped by the offender and returned the money to the PostShop before Police arrived.
Police would like this person to come forward so we can thank him for his assistance and obtain further details about the robbery.
The offender has been described as Maori or Polynesian, medium to solid build, 6 foot tall [182cm] with a distinctive 5cm dark black birthmark or mole on their left cheekbone. The suspect was wearing a grey hooded jacket, dark coloured shorts and black shoes.
If you have any information that could help our investigation, please contact Waitemata Crime Squad on (09) 839 0697. Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
