A man who robbed a Hamilton pharmacy today may be responsible for other aggravated robberies in the city during the past week.

The man entered the Radius Pharmacy at Davies Corner about 1.45pm, told staff he was carrying a weapon, and demanded and was given cash, police said.

He left on foot heading south.

The man was described as male Maori, in his twenties or thirties, wearing a dark hoodie and backpack.

Hamilton police said they were considering the possibility that he may be the same offender responsible for other aggravated robberies in Hamilton during the past week.
