Police have arrested six people in relation to robberies in the Auckland Suburb of Mount Albert.
In a statement, Assistant Commissioner Richard Chambers said the Operation Rhino investigation team arrested and charged an 18-year-old male and five youths overnight for their involvement in an aggravated robbery of a retail store within the St Luke's shopping complex a week ago.
The six alleged offenders, along with two other youths, have also been charged with conspiring to commit aggravated robbery after they were found by police last night.
An additional offender has already been charged with their involvement in this matter, which is currently before the Youth Court.
Jewellery and other items were found by police during a search of their vehicles.
All eight arrested overnight will appear in the Auckland District Court and Youth Court.
Police are continuing to appeal for anyone with information, including footage of any incidents, to please get in contact.
