Attribute to Detective Sergeant William van Woerkom:
Masterton Police are appealing for witnesses following the aggravated burglary of the Ram Super Store on Roberts Road last week.
At 9:20am on Friday 27 April two men entered the shop armed with a metal bar and a knife and stole cigarettes and tobacco products.
Staff were in the rear of the shop at the time, they were shaken by the incident but uninjured.
The offenders left the scene in a stolen 1989 blue Honda Civic with a broken quarter light (photo attached). It was found abandoned shortly after at the Riverside Cemetery.
One of the men was wearing a dark blue or black jacket with the hood up, black track pants, gloves and black sneakers with white soles. His face was covered by a camouflage scarf and he was carrying a black square shoulder bag.
The other was also wearing a dark blue or black sweatshirt with the hood up, dark pants with red lines down the side and black shoes. His face was covered by a white dust mask and he was wearing disposable white gloves.
These men can be seen in the CCTV images attached.
The stolen car the pair were driving was seen in the Cornwall and Kippenberger Street area before the robbery and Police are keen to hear from anyone else who may have seen it on Friday morning.
Police would also like to talk to anyone who was in the Roberts Road area at the time and may have information that could assist the investigation or help to identify the offenders.
People with information are urged to contact Masterton Police on 06 3700 300 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
