Police are asking for information from the public after a series of incidents in Invercargill, including two aggravated robberies.
Officers were called to a Dee Street premises about 2.30am on Monday 5 May, after a report of two people entering the store and assaulting the worker, demanding cash. They then fled the scene in a vehicle.
The worker was not seriously injured, however they were very shaken by what occurred, says Detective Inspector Stu Harvey.
“An attempted burglary and two burglaries were subsequently reported at three further premises, on Windsor Street, Elles Road and Yarrow Street.
“Then, about 4.20am, Police received a report that two people had entered a Tay Street premises and demanded cash and items. Fortunately, no one was hurt during the incident.
“Police are making enquiries into each incident, and at this stage our information suggests they are linked.
“Two vehicles were seen in the vicinity of some of the incidents. One of them, a red Toyota Vitz, has been involved in the offending. Police have recovered this vehicle, which was stolen the previous day.”
The other vehicle is described as a dark-coloured car, Detective Inspector Harvey says.
“We would like to speak to anyone who saw vehicles fitting these descriptions between 1am and 5am.”
Anyone with information about these vehicles or those involved is asked to contact Police via 105. Please use the reference number 250505/9732.
