Unconfirmed social media reports of cash being scooped off the street by a passing motorist following the robbery of a Whangarei bank are circulating.
However, police would not comment on the observation or say how much cash was taken in the heist of ANZ Bank in Whangarei by the two masked robbers on Thursday.
Investigations continued yesterday including viewing security camera footage but the two offenders had not been arrested.
The Facebook post stated: "ANZ Bank in Whangarei just got robbed. On the run with bags of cash. That plus people running out of their cars to grab whatever cash that came flying out."
Police were calling for sightings of a red 2004 SS Commodore that was in the vicinity of the Avenues and the CBD before or around the time of the robbery.
