A man on the run from police has asked a resident to call him a taxi just moments after allegedly holding-up an Auckland bank at gunpoint.
Police are investigating after an ANZ Bank branch in Glenfield – on Auckland’s north shore – was robbed by a man carrying a pistol and another woman about 1pm Wednesday.
A nearby resident said she was having lunch when the man walked down her driveway ‘huffing and puffing’, according to 7 News.
He then knocked on the woman’s door and asked if she could call him a taxi, the resident said.
‘I said “don’t you have a phone?” I didn’t think anything of it,’ she said according to 7 News.
She then ordered a taxi for the man, but forced him to wait on the roadside.
I just started screaming. I told him to get the f***ing hell out,’ she said.
Armed police entered the woman’s home to search for the man but he had escaped.
‘They told me to put my hands up. I said ‘I live here, I live here a man has run out the back”, she said.
Police said a man and a woman escaped with a ‘small amount of money’, and no one was injured.
