Last night, a man armed with a knife entered a service station on Leach Street in New Plymouth at around 10.15.
He demanded cash and cigarettes before fleeing on foot down Leach Street and possibly onto Cameron Street.
On Thursday, a man entered a Gladstone Night 'n Day in Invercargill and threatened a shop assistant with a gun.
A person who intervened was stabbed by a second offender and is in hospital in a stable condition.
The robbers fled in a red two-door Honda Civic stolen from Pork Pie Lane earlier in the evening.
