Three men have been arrested in connection with an aggravated robbery on Auckland's North Shore last month.

Waitematā CIB have been investigating the incident since it occurred in the early hours of 7 January on Onewa Road, Northcote.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Poland said in a statement that the three men, aged 20, 24 and 25, will be facing charges relating to aggravated robbery and kidnapping.

"Our investigation team has been working hard to locate the offenders behind this incident and put them before the courts," he said.

"Police are continuing support the numerous victims that were involved in this terrifying incident and we hope these arrests bring them some reassurance."

The three men were expected in the North Shore District Court today.
