Police are appealing for information following an aggravated burglary in Kensington last night.

Just before 6.30pm, a group of males armed with what appeared to be a machete and hammer, have attempted to enter a dairy on Mill Road.

Detective Senior Sergent Shane Pilmer, Northland CIB, says the group took a number of items before the store keeper activated the fog cannon.

“Thankfully no one was injured.

“The offenders have then fled in a stolen grey 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero Station wagon, which officers located abandoned in Otangarei a short time later.”
