Police are calling for information after an aggravated robbery at Kawerau's River Rd Dairy.

In a statement today, police said four people entered the dairy, with one person allegedly armed with a knife, about 6.10am on Monday. Police say a fifth person waited outside.

A store attendant, who was alone in the shop, was allegedly threatened and assaulted.

The man was shaken by the incident but he was not seriously injured, the statement said.

Police said cigarettes and cash were allegedly stolen and a vehicle was found abandoned nearby later that morning.
