Masked, gun-wielding robbers order Christchurch dairy worker to face the wall

Masked, gun-wielding robbers told a Christchurch shopworker to face the wall during an aggravated robbery tonight.

Police say two men entered a dairy in Rutland Street in the city shortly after 8.30pm and threatened a shop attendant. 

The men told the victim to face the wall, before removing a quantity of cigarettes and cash and leaving the store, police said in a statement. 

They were last seen heading southwest on Hawkesbury Avenue on foot. 

One man was wearing a black hoodie and both were wearing some kind of mask or face covering, believed to also be coloured black, police said. 

Christchurch Police want to hear from anyone who has information which may help them identify and locate the offenders.
