Attributable to Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Wilson:
Whakatane Police investigating an aggravated robbery at a service station are seeking help from the public.
Around 1am on Saturday 20 November, a person entered Caltex Whakatane on Commerce Street holding a knife.
The person jumped over the counter and demanded cigarettes and cash, threatening the sole attendant working.
At one point a scuffle broke out between the offender and attendant, during which the attendant sustained a small cut to his finger.
As part of our inquiries we are looking to identify the person pictured, who wore a grey face mask with a teeth design printed on it, and a distinctive puffer hoodie.
We are confident someone in our community can identify this individual.
