Two people have been arrested after high school students were robbed in Clevedon last month.
The incident was just after 2.30pm on 16 March. No injuries were reported at the time.
Police said two men approached the pupils of ACG Strathallan on Clevedon Rd in the rural Auckland village south of the city, demanding they hand over their money and mobile phones.
Police arrested a 27-year-old female and a 15-year-old male after executing search warrants in Manurewa and Takanini on Friday. A BB gun was recovered at one of the addresses.
The 15-year-old male is due to appear in the Manukau Youth Court next week, charged with aggravated robbery, while the 27-year-old female has been referred to an Iwi community panel.
The investigation remains ongoing and police said they cannot rule out further charges or arrests being made.
