Attributable to Detective Sergeant Craig Vining:
Hawke's Bay Police investigating an attempted aggravated robbery in Havelock North are seeking help from the public.
Two males entered the Lispscombe Crescent Dairy around 12:25pm on Saturday 22 September.
The pair confronted the female shop owner, who ran to the back of the store.
The males attempted to access the till but were unsuccessful, and ran from the store onto Sefton Street.
They are described as being in their mid to late teens, both wearing hooded sweatshirts. One was in shorts.
Police want to speak with two people standing on the corner of Sefton and Tasman Streets who may have seen the offenders run past.
One of these witnesses is described as a female Caucasian, between 16-19 years old, with long red hair. She was with a male of a similar age.
If you are one of those two people, or you have any information that may help Police or can identify the people in these CCTV photographs, please call us on (06) 831 0700.
