Three men have been arrested after a robbery in the Auckland CBD early on Sunday morning.
Police were called around 4:20am to Hobson Street after five people were allegedly robbed by three people armed with what was described as pistols. They were left unharmed but shaken, police said.
The alleged offenders left in a vehicle, which was stopped by Police a short time later. Two airsoft air pistols were found, and all the victims' property has been located.
Three men, two aged 19 and one aged 22, will appear in Auckland District Court on Monday on a number of charges including aggravated robbery, dangerous driving, failing to stop, and firearms-related offences.
"Police are pleased to have been able to make quick arrests in this matter, and hope they bring about reassurance to the victims and the wider community," said Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Armstrong, Auckland City District CIB.
"As the matter is now before the courts, Police cannot comment further."
