Rifle-Wielding Robber Steals Cash and Tobacco from Convenience Store

Police in Dunedin, New Zealand, released CCTV footage of a masked man pointing a rifle at a convenience store employee in a May 2 daylight robbery.

The bandit left with cash and tobacco, driving off in a silver vehicle shortly before 11 am, police said.

“It is likely the offender is looking to sell the tobacco at discounted rates. Anyone who is offered tobacco at a discounted rate is asked to come forward,” police said in a statement.
