Police are seeking help from the public as they investigate an aggravated robbery at Mananui Dairy in Whakatane.
About 7.10am on Saturday two men entered the dairy on James St with their faces covered, carrying wooden weapons and stole cigarettes before fleeing the scene.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Standen said police had some positive lines of inquiry but were still seeking information from the public.
"We remain focused on the fact these offenders used weapons to commit this robbery, and we want to prevent them from reoffending.
"We have captured those responsible for the most recent robbery at Gull Service Station (on November 4), and I remain confident that with help with information from the public we will apprehend those responsible for this act of violence," he said.
