Police are investigating an armed robbery on a bottle shop at Shortland.
A motorbike pulled in to the Bottle Mart on Sandgate Road just after 6.00pm last night with a rider and pillion passenger on board.

He was given money from the cash register and rode off with his accomplice now riding the bike.
The man was wearing a black helmet, black jacket and blue jeans and a black back pack.
The accomplice was wearing a multi-coloured Motorcross style helmet with blue rimmed goggles with grey track pants and a grey hoodie.
