Police have arrested a 21-year-old man following the aggravated robbery of a Whangarei Post Shop.
Allegedly two masked men carrying a firearm entered the Otaika Lotto and Post Shop on Otaika Rd about 4.30pm on Friday.
There were three staff members and some members of the public in the shop at the time, police say.
The men managed to get some cash from the shop and then left on foot through a walkway towards Ashley Av.
A stolen vehicle linked to the robbery was located by police a short while later.
