A man has been arrested after a bank robbery on Auckland's North Shore.

The Mairangi Bay branch of ASB was robbed at gunpoint on Friday morning.

Detective Inspector Stan Brown said a North Shore man was arrested on Friday night, and police have located most, if not all, the money that was stolen and the pistol used in the robbery.

A 39-year-old man was to appear in the North Shore District Court on Saturday charged with aggravated robbery.
