A woman appeared in the Wellington District Court on Friday in connection to robberies at three Kathmandu stores in Wellington and Hutt Valley.

She was charged with receiving stolen property after police located a green sedan used by the offenders in Wellington on Thursday night.

Kathmandu stores in Willis Street and Lyall Bay were targeted along with the Petone branch, where a manager was threatened with a gun on Wednesday.

Police say a similar vehicle was used in a robbery of Michael Hill Jewellers on Lambton Quay where $8000 worth of jewellery was taken.

The vehicle sought by police.
