Teen demands groceries at knifepoint

An Otara dairy owner was threatened with a knife by a 13-year-old who then made off with nappies, milk and toffee pop biscuits.

Police said a 13-year-old had been questioned and referred to Youth Aid in connection with the robbery of the Dissmeyer Superette in Otara, south Auckland yesterday.

Counties Manukau police Detective Sergeant Chris Barry said two other people, one who acted as a lookout and one who drove a getaway car, were being sought.

"The offenders stole a packet of nappies, a bottle of milk and two packets of toffee pops," Mr Barry said.
