Three men have been arrested after an early morning robbery in downtown Auckland.
Police were called about 4.20am to Hobson Street, where a group of five people were allegedly robbed by three people armed with what were described as pistols.
The victims were unharmed, but shaken by the incident, police said.
The three offenders were stopped by police a short time later, and two air pistols were located.
Three men, two aged 19 and one aged 22, will appear in Auckland District Court Monday on a number of charges including aggravated robbery, dangerous driving, failing to stop, and firearms-related offences.
