Three youths are in custody after a report of a robbery in Rotorua this morning.
Police were alerted to a group of people entering a gas station on Te Ngae Rd about 6.25am, a police spokeswoman told the Rotorua Daily Post.
Police alleged the group threatened employees of the store with weapons and took items before leaving the area in a stolen vehicle, the spokeswoman said.
The weapons were not firearms.
“After making a number of inquiries, police located the group, and they were placed into custody without incident.”
