Shots were reportedly heard during a Te Kūiti bank robbery this afternoon.
Police say two people entered the bank and demanded cash just after midday.
Local radio station MFM Te Reo o Te Iwi said shots were reportedly heard outside the ANZ bank on Rora St.
An eyewitness told 1News the robbers were dropping money as they fled the bank. They added that a lady, who didn't realise it had been robbed, picked it up and called out to them they had dropped their money.
"The little egg ran back and snatched it out of her hand," the bystander said.
