Two masked robbers who fled from a central city bank in Whangarei yesterday remain on the run.
The ANZ bank was robbed about 11.30am yesterday by two people who left the bank with an unknown amount of cash.
Comments on social media about the robbery include people seeing people "on the run with bags of cash" and "plus people running out of their cars to grab whatever cash came flying out".
Police would not reveal how much had been taken or how much had been recovered. No arrests had been made overnight.
Former police officer, now Whangarei District Council councillor, Gavin Benney tried to stop the fleeing masked robbers.
