The Team from Wellington District Police

Hutt Valley Police investigating the armed robbery of an Upper Hutt bar are seeking help from the public.

Police received a call just after midnight this morning reporting that a masked offender brandishing a firearm approached bar staff at Quinns Post bar on Ward Street and demanded cash.

The offender then fled on foot along Ward Street towards Heretaunga College.

Bar staff involved were shaken, but not injured, and are being provided Victim Support.
There were no patrons in the bar at the time.

Police are asking for anyone who was in the Ward Street and Fergusson Drive areas of Upper Hutt at the time (before and after midnight) and saw any suspicious people or vehicles, or who has any information relating to the robbery, to come forward.

You can contact Police via 105, referencing file number 251210/1876, or alternatively contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or crimestoppers-nz.org...
