Hutt Valley Police have arrested a man in relation to a robbery of a Petone bank earlier this year, in which the offender presented a note to counter staff.
The incident happened around midday on May 3, at the BNZ on Jackson Street.
A male approached the counter, had a conversation with staff, and presented a note threatening them. No weapon was seen or used in the robbery.
The BNZ staff and managers have been advised of the arrest.
A 40-year-old Hutt Valley man will appear in Hutt Valley District Court on Monday, July 18, charged with non-aggravated robbery.
As this matter is now before the Courts, Police have no further comment.
