An Auckland shop manager is calling for tougher laws on crime after she was again robbed at knifepoint yesterday.
Manager Chanthavy Lim's East Tamaki store was robbed shortly after 2.15am, when two people rushed the two workers in the store.
She was placing a sign outside when a person dressed head-to-toe in black suddenly started pushing her towards the counter, threatening her with a knife.
The offender then smashed stacks of takeaway cups to the ground, while another person raced into the store and leapt over the counter.
After a scuffle, Lim was forced to help empty the cash register.
