Waikato Police investigating an aggravated robbery in Te Kūiti from May have now obtained a warrant to arrest Tom Phillips.
“Recent developments in our ongoing inquiries have led police to charge Mr Phillips with aggravated robbery, aggravated wounding and unlawfully possessing a firearm,” said Acting Detective Inspector Andrew Saunders.
In May, police appealed for information after two people entered a bank on Rora St, Te Kūiti, and demanded cash.
Both were armed and fled the scene on a black, farm-style motorbike.
