A woman says she feared for her life when two men armed with hammers robbed the Rotorua dairy she was working at.
It's the second time in just over a month the Hillcrest Dairy on Jervis St has been robbed and Jewan Preet was working both times.
A police spokeswoman said two men entered the dairy about 11.30am today armed with hammers and stole cash and damaged a cigarette cabinet.
They left in a white van. No one was injured, she said.
Preet was in a back room when "two guys came and jumped over the counter", she told the Rotorua Daily Post.
