A 41 year old man has been arrested and charged in relation to the 2007 robbery of the Rangitikei Street branch of BNZ, Palmerston North.
The bank was robbed on the 24th of May 2007 by a man who presented what appeared to be a pistol at three tellers and demanded money.
He left the bank with around $1400 shortly after.
The three women tellers were shaken by the incident but not injured.
The pistol was an imitation.
The investigation was reopened a few months ago and a search warrant was carried out in Palmerston North today, March 8.
