An employee of a Whanganui liquor store keeps reliving an armed robbery every time he closes his eyes.

The robbery of Black Bull Liquor in Dublin St happened just before 5pm on Saturday, July 7, when a male armed with a hammer entered the store.

Singh said there had been several instances of shoplifting at the store in recent weeks and these had been reported to police but not followed up.

Whanganui Police Detective Sergeant David Thompson said police were called to the store at 4.52pm on Saturday after a male with a hammer demanded cash.

"An amount of cash was taken but no one was hurt," Thompson said.

"The offender left on a bicycle in the direction of Harrison St and then to the Glasgow St area."

Police have conducted a scene examination and are reviewing CCTV footage. They are appealing for sightings of a male, who was wearing a red hat, on a bicycle around 5pm on Sunday.

Anyone with information can call Detective Karl Reyland on 06 213 4180 or make an anonymous call to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A shortage of the pre-paid stickers has caused what one official described as several weeks of rubbish chaos and has seen the stickers become highly sought-after.

The city's sole supplier ran out and when an order for more with a commercial printer was accidentally placed on back-order, thousands of Whanganui residents turned to social media to complain and ask which retailers had stickers available.

The answer: not many, and perhaps none.

But there is good news: Private waste collection company Waste Management who issue the stickers says normal service has resumed.

New supplies of stickers were delivered to retailers on Monday and Tuesday and most should now have stocks.
