Dramatic CCTV footage has emerged of the moment two men violently robbed a South Auckland bar.
When the robbers, wearing black sunglasses and hoodies, walked into the nearly empty Hala Vuna Corner Bar in Papatoetoe yesterday afternoon, barman Parampreet Singh Wolia knew something was off.
The two men started quizzing Wolia about the pokie machines and asking him bizarre questions, like what time the jackpot went off.
"Then they bent over on the bar table and said, 'Can we get some cash out'. I said, 'How much do you want' and I held the eftpos machine in my hand, then suddenly one of them jumped in and they told me to open the till," Wolia said.
"I refused four to five times but they didn't listen and they then started kicking me and threatening me, saying they had a knife and that they would punch me if I didn't follow orders," he said.
