An 11-year-old is among three youths arrested after an aggravated robbery of a store in West Auckland last night.
Police were called after the trio, armed with a weapon, entered a store on View Rd in Sunnyvale around 7.40pm.
The weapon involved was not a firearm.
The group had allegedly demanded money when the store worker managed to leave and call police.
"The alleged offenders have then taken a number of items before police quickly arrived and took them into custody," Detective Senior Sergeant Megan Goldie said.
