Police are hunting three masked men who robbed a Christchurch supermarket over the weekend and assaulted a security guard with a metal pole.
The three men, wearing dark coloured hoodies, gloves, and balaclavas covering their faces, entered Countdown Northlands Mall supermarket at about 11.20pm on Saturday.
One of them carried a backpack while another was armed with a metal pole or crowbar.
While one stood at the entrance to the supermarket, the other two entered the store, police say.
"They approached a staff member at the cash registers and robbed her of a sum of money, before running from the store. She was not injured, but shaken," a police statement says.
