NZ Police Seek Leads in Hutt Valley Robbery Spree

Hutt Valley Police investigating a spate of commercial robberies are seeking information from the public, specifically the clothing worn by the offenders.

On Saturday 10 January, Police were notified of an incident at a bar in King Street at around 1.30am.

"Thankfully the employees were uninjured, but this incident has understandably left them shaken.

The second offender were a beanie, a 'Nike Academy' sweatshirt with distinctive white stripes, dark coloured pants, distinctive coloured shoes, and wore a cloth over their face.

Police are seeking information in relation to this incident, including CCTV or dashcam footage in the King Street and Sinclair Street areas.

"We would also like to hear from anyone who may know someone that wears or has worn a Nike brand Men's Dry Academy Soccer Track Jacket with black and white colouring, similar to the one pictured."
