Two men armed with a crowbar are alleged to have stolen cash and tobacco from a minimart.
Police are hoping to identify the men in the CCTV images they believe to be the culprits responsible for the robbery of the Palmerston Minimart in Hamilton on July 2.
'Both men had covered their faces with white scarves and one of them was carrying a long metal crow bar,” says police.
'The men took one pouch of tobacco and a small amount of cash. They left the scene in a stolen light-blue Mazda Demio, which they had parked on Palmerston Street during the robbery.”
Police have since recovered this car in Sandleigh Road, Hamilton.
'The lone female shop assistant was struck several times by one of the men and sustained bruising to her arms and neck.
'If you know who these two men are, or have any information which might help Police identify them, please contact Hamilton Police on 07 858 6200.”
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

These are starting to get too commonplace, this is not the NZ that I grew up in. These scumbags have no fear of the police or law and certainly no respect for their community. They also have no hesitation in harming innocent staff (ironically it's probably the staffs hard earned taxes paying these dirtbags "wages"). Our law and order system isn't working and something needs to change.
