At about 10.45pm last night Saturday 26 May, Police were called to attend a robbery at Papamoa Domino’s Pizza .
The offender, a man wearing a grey hoodie and black pants, threatened the single store attendant with a hammer.
The victim was not injured, but the man left the store on foot with a quantity of money.
The offender then ran off into a nearby residential area, and left on a pushbike.
Bay of Plenty Police have been at the scene this morning conducting a scene examination and interviewing witnesses.
We would still like more witnesses to come forward, so if anyone has any information, they are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible.
Police would appreciate any information we can get that may help identify the offender.
We cannot say if this robbery is linked to the Subway robbery last Friday night as we are only in the early stages of this investigation.
Those people with any information can call the Tauranga Police Station directly on (07) 577 4300 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
