An Ōtaika shop has reportedly been robbed this afternoon by a person with a tomahawk.

Police are yet to confirm a robbery, which social media users have said was at Ōtaika Lotto and Post. The shop is currently closed.

Two police cars were at the Ōtaika shops this afternoon, including a dog handler’s vehicle, but there was no sign of the dog or its handler.

More to come.
