Four people are due to appear in court today, following the aggravated robbery of the Kaukapakapa General Store, in the Kaipara district.
Police were called just before 8.20pm yesterday after three people entered the store, where the owner was attacked with a wrench.
The victim suffered bruising, and cigarettes were stolen.
The trio got into a stolen car containing a fourth person.
The vehicle was seen on the motorway near Silverdale.
Police signalled for the car to stop but it failed to and the driver fled from Police.
Road spikes were successfully used and the car was stopped in Greenlane.
Three men, aged 25, 18 and 17, are scheduled to appear in North Shore District Court today charged with aggravated robbery.
The 17-year-old has also been charged with failing to stop and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
A fourth person, a 15-year-old male, has been charged with aggravated robbery and will appear in the North Shore Youth Court.
