A distinctive looking Maori man with bright orange dyed hair
is wanted by police in connection with a Christchurch video
store robbery yesterday.
The Star Video store on Wairakei Road, in suburban Bryndwr,
about 2.45pm.
A man came into the business and demanded money while
threatening the staff member with an item concealed under his
top, Detective Gary Absalom said.
He fled with an undisclosed sum of money.
The man was believed to be Maori in his mid to late 20s, of
average build and with orange hair.
He was wearing a cap and 3/4-length shorts with white shoes.
Mr Absalom said the man might have been in the area before
the robbery and urged anyone who saw him to contact police.
