A Hamilton dairy owner has been injured after being held at gunpoint during a daylight robbery yesterday.
Police said four armed people entered the dairy on River Road, Hamilton about 5pm.
The group took a till and cigarettes from the dairy, leaving the scene in a white Subaru Impreza, which had earlier been stolen, police said.
Detective Senior Sergeant Andrew Saunders said an 18-year-old man had been arrested and charged with aggravated robbery.
“This was a very traumatic and frightening incident for the dairy owner,” Saunders said.
