At about 10am on Saturday morning the 26th of June 2010 a male entered the Kiwi Bank Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden robbed it with a firearm.

The offender pulled a pistol shaped weapon from a bag and threatened staff and customers inside. He passed two eco bags over the counter and money was put inside. The offender then ran from the bank.

A sausage sizzle was operating outside a nearby butchery at the time. Several witnesses saw what was happening and gave chase. The male climbed into a vehicle and drive off.

One witness has a similar vehicle and described it as a 1997 Mitsubishi Galant coloured white. There was foil covering the numberplates and a yellow glow vest obscuring something across the bumper - possibly hiding some sort of sign writing or something distinctive.

The offender is described as:

• Male
• 30 - 50 years (heavily disguised)
• Possibly light skinned Maori or Pacific Islander
• About 165cm / 5’5”
• Solid build.

He was wearing:

• Black balaclava
• Red hoodie under a blue jumper
• Grey track pants with black and white stripe down the sides
• White garden gloves.
