A third Hastings shop in 10 days has been held up by armed robbers.
The dairy on the corner of Grove Rd and Willowpark Rd was held up by one man carrying a firearm at about 6.15pm yesterday.
Detective Constable Sally Patrick said the man threatened the five occupants of the dairy - the two owners and three staff members.
They were upset but not hurt.
As in the previous two dairy robberies, tobacco and cash were taken.
