A 37-year-old man was being treated in hospital with an apparent gunshot wound following an armed robbery Friday morning September 4 in Maʻufanga.

Police said the alleged armed robber entered the Kinikinilau service station in disguise while carrying a gun.

He threatened the staff before shooting him, Police Communication Officer Telesia Adams said.

Adams also said that this was the only information she could release to Kaniva at this stage while Police investigation was ongoing.
