Dunedin police are continuing to hunt for an armed robber who stole cigarettes and cash from a city dairy.
Police yesterday released CCTV footage from the aggravated robbery of Halfway Bush Convenience Store on May 2.
In the video, the armed robber enters the store and demands the worker place cash and tobacco into what appears to be a pink bag.
The robber waves the firearm around and thrusts it at the store worker.
''Inquiries are ongoing into the aggravated robbery, which resulted in a small amount of cash and a number of packets of tobacco being taken,'' a police spokesman said.
The man's face was covered throughout the robbery.
''We believe an item of clothing was used to cover the face of the man shown on the CCTV footage, but we can't be specific about what was used, or provide the colour of that item,'' the spokesman said.
''A witness describes seeing a silver vehicle, possibly a hatchback, leave the area immediately after the incident.''
The robbery took place about 10.45am on May 2.
