Police have arrested a third man over an armed dairy robbery in the northern Hawke's Bay town of Wairoa.
Three masked men, one armed with a sawn-off shotgun and another with a rifle, went into the Mahia Ave Dairy and demanded money at gunpoint about 6.50pm on June 22.
One man seized money from the till before the trio ran from the store and got into a vehicle on McDonald St.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Scott of Gisborne police said a 20-year-old man was arrested today and charged with aggravated robbery.
He will appear in Gisborne District Court tomorrow.
Two other men, aged 18 and 24, were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery last week.
They appeared in court on Friday and were remanded in custody until July 15.
