Staff assaulted as bar robbed at gunpoint

3:38 pm on 9 November 2013

The police in Auckland are looking for three men who robbed a Mt Eden bar at gunpoint on Saturday morning.

They say the men entered the De Post Beer Café at 466 Mt Eden Road just after midnight, as staff were preparing to finish.

Staff members were threatened and assaulted by the trio, one of whom was armed with a pistol while the other wielded a screwdriver.

Police say the men left with an undisclosed sum from the safe.

They want to hear from anyone with information, in particular a family group which left the premises just before the bar/café closed.
