Police name robbery suspect

Police have named one of the remaining two people who are at large for allegedly robbing the Te Puke Jewellers and Katikati Paper Plus last week.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner has named Rotorua 17 year old Desmond Galvin-Taikato as a person wanted in relation to this inquiry. He is described as male, Maori, 182cm tall and of thin build.

He is believed to be somewhere in the Bay of Plenty or Waikato areas.
Police are still searching for a 22 year old in relation to this inquiry also, but have not yet named him.
'We know who we are looking for and it's only a matter of time before we find them,” says Greg.
Two men already arrested in relation to these robberies have appeared in the Rotorua District Court.
Haere Tawhiti Rex Maney, 22, from Rotorua, and Rehua Rakapa Karika Ferris, unemployed 19, faced charges for the robberies of 24 July, 2009.
The charges included aggravated robbery, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, threatening to injure and kill, assault, and being armed with a shotgun.
Maney was remanded in custody until a bail hearing today and Ferris was remanded in custody until his bail hearing on August 17.
