North Shore Police are appealing to the public for any information that will lead them to an offender who robbed the DING DONG DANG DAIRY in the suburb of Hillcrest yesterday.
Police say the incident happened at about 1230pm Thursday 13 August 2009 when a masked male Caucasian entered the dairy and used a large knife to threaten and rob the owners of a quantity of tobacco.
The offender then fled from the dairy located in Moore Street Hillcrest. He ran in a northerly direction through Monarch Park, into Monarch Avenue, and then into Eban Avenue. This is the last reported sighting of him.
