Bit Too Close To Home
Paraparaumu bank held up by robber [From RNZ]
Police said the man went into the ASB Bank at Coastlands mall at about 4:30pm on Friday, threatened staff and presented what appeared to be a firearm.
"No shots were fired and no one was injured during this incident, although staff were understandably shaken," police said in a statement.
The man took off with an undisclosed sum of money, fleeing the scene on foot.
The bank is located on the outer perimeter of the mall, next to a main entrance. Police want to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw the man leaving.

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.
