Police are making inquiries to locate a man who allegedly threatened staff and took money from a bank in Glenfield Mall, Auckland this morning.

A police spokesperson said they were notified just before 11.30am and no one involved has been injured.

Talking to the Herald, a worker at Glenfield Mall claimed the robber was armed with a butcher's knife.

"The man was wearing a hoodie and sunglasses, with bank staff telling him to take it off before he made his way to the front counter.

"He then stood behind a woman with his arm around her neck and holding a knife, which led to money being handed over."

The mall worker claimed the robber's clothes were found in a nearby park and that it wasn't apparent anything had happened inside the bank as it was quiet and police were in casual clothes.

"All the banks were closed. The only bank with doors open was ANZ as they have a separate security system from the other banks, the others automatically shutdown when the banks inside the mall release the alarm."

A police spokesperson said there is nothing further police can confirm at this stage.
