Police in Feilding are releasing security footage of a robber who stole cash after threatening a staff member that he had a gun.
The man had been into the Kiwi Bank in Goodbehere Street yesterday morning (Monday, 29 June) stating that he wanted to withdraw a large sum of cash and would return later giving them time to prepare the withdrawal.
He then returned around 1.25pm at which point he told the female cashier that he had a gun and to hand over cash. He left with between $3,000 and $4,000.
No weapon was seen and no-one was injured.
