Police say robberies in Wellington have spiked and have appealed for public after at least four incidents in the past three days.
On Monday, a man held up a Newlands dairy with a knife, escaping with cigarettes. Yesterday an Auckland couple was charged in relation to this robbery.
In other incidents yesterday, a hotel worker in Karori was punched in the head before two offenders stole money and a man held up the Khandallah Post Shop with a gun.
At about 10.30pm on Tuesday night, an 18-year-old man was assaulted and robbed by at least two men in an alley.
