A 16-year-old has been arrested in relation to the aggravated robbery of a Waimea Road dairy in Nelson.
‘On the Spot Dairy’ at the corner of Waimea Rd and Tukuka St was robbed just after 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 26.
It was reported earlier that a man described as Maori or Polynesian in his late teens or early 20s stormed the dairy and demanded cash from the store attendant.
The offender was reported carrying a weapon while committing the crime and stole an ‘unaccounted’ amount of cash.
The 16-year-old local man is due to appear in the Nelson Youth Court today charged with aggravated robbery.
Police would like to thank members of the public who provided helpful information which lead to a quick arrest.
