Police investigating Hastings aggravated robbery
Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of the Angus Inn Bottle Store in Railway Road, Hastings that happened on Sunday night.
Fortunately nobody was physically injured in the robbery but those involved are understandably shaken.
Police are following positive lines of enquiry in relation to the robbery but we would still like to hear from anyone who was in the area of the bottle store at around 6.30pm and saw anything which could assist our investigation.
Anyone with information can call Detective Sergeant Emmet Lynch on 06 831 0700. Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
