7:05 pm on 1 October 2013

Police are looking for a quick change artist responsible for holding up staff at a bank in Auckland City.

They say the man in his fifties was armed with a gun when he gave a note to a teller at the BNZ in Queen Street at about 10.20am on Tuesday.

Police say he took off with a small amount of money, and headed just round the corner to a bar where he carried out a quick change of clothes.

He robbed the bank wearing a blue beanie, reading glasses, and a dark long sleeved jacket.

The man left the bar wearing a pink and yellow checked short-sleeved shirt, and a cream coloured sun hat.
