Two teenagers attempted to rob with fake gun in New Zealand

Two teenagers attempted to rob a Wainuiomata dairy with what is thought to be a fake gun.
A Police central communications spokesman said they were called to Jay Store on Ruthven Rd just before 2pm on Tuesday.

Two males teenagers, both about 16-years-old, had asked for cigarettes. When their request was denied, they pulled out what a store employee believed to be a fake gun. The attempted robbery proved unsuccessful, with the teenage pair fleeing the dairy empty-handed shortly after.

They were last seen getting into a car that drove away from the scene. Police said details about the incident were "sketchy" on Tuesday afternoon, and the alleged attempted robbers were still on the run.
