A masked machete-wielding robber struck at a small Porirua store this afternoon.
But the man made off with only a "small amount of cash", police say.
He walked into Discount T, a tobacco store on Serlby Place, shortly before 3pm today, brandishing a machete at staff.
Nobody was injured in the robbery.
The man was wearing a light-grey hooded jacket, light-coloured pants and red shoes. He wore sunglasses and masked his face.
Anyone with information can call Wellington police on 04 381 2000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Organisers of the hīkoi mō te Tiriti promoted a switch from the general roll.
