A staff member at a Rotorua liquor store has been assaulted in an alleged aggravated robbery.
Police are investigating the robbery at the store on Kawaha Point Rd last night.
A police spokeswoman said police were called to the store about 7.05pm after four people entered the store armed with weapons and threatened staff members.
"The offenders attempted to steal alcohol, and assaulted a staff member who tried to intervene and prevent their offending.
"The offenders then left the store. One person was restrained by a member of the public, while the other three ran away down Kawaha Point Rd," the spokeswoman said.
