Christchurch Police have released CCTV footage of an aggravated robbery at a service station on Sunday night.
The footage, taken at around 7:30pm, shows three males wearing hoodies entering the Challenge Fuel station on Hills Rd in Edgeware, a Christchurch suburb near the CBD.
The men arrived in a blue hatchback and were armed with weapons, and stole tobacco and cigarettes. Police believe the blue hatchback might have been a Subaru Impreza.
It's the second Christchurch service station robbery in a week where cigarettes have been stolen.
A man threatened an attendant at a service station on Blights Rd on Saturday with a hammer before escaping with cigarettes and cash.
The video footage of the more recent robbery was posted to the Canterbury Police Facebook page in an attempt to understand the identity of the robbers.
