Taupo police are looking for the driver of a car, thought to be involved in a dramatic armed robbery at a jewellery store
9 July 2019
A 25-year-old Hamilton man is due in court today, accused of smashing a display cabinet and stealing watches from a shop on Tamamutu Street yesterday afternoon.
A staff member chased the offender and tackled him in a service lane, where a car was waiting.
The driver allegedly tried to run over the staff member but ran over his co-offender's foot instead, before threatening them and another person with a pistol.
A stolen blue Mazda Familia was found empty but still running on Motutere Street.
