About 8:06pm on Thursday the 3rd of June, the three victims in this matter were at the Mangere Bridge Veterinary Clinic situated at 95 Coronation Road in the capacity as cleaners. 

All three were in the front reception area cleaning when two males entered the store via the front door.  The first male has entered the store and has pointed the firearm directly at one of the cleaners.  The second male has then entered shortly thereafter.

The first male has moved behind the service counter area and has searched that vicinity.  He has used the shotgun as a club to smash the florescent light in that area. 

The second male was seen to uplift and move the cashier till, removing the contents. 

Both men have moved to the rear of the clinic where they have entered the consultation room, smashing a computer monitor.

The surgery room, which was locked, was also forced in - various items had been upturned and searched through.  A locked cabinet containing veterinary drugs was also forced.

All three victims have been ushered into a back room and have remained in the room during the entire incident.  They were threatened with the shotgun and had various items taken from them.

The two men fled via the front door a short time later.
