A female robber walked into a dairy yesterday and pointed a handgun at its owner, telling him: "I don't want to hurt you." Police swarmed into the Halfway Bush area of Dunedin after the attempted robbery about 7.50am yesterday. The shop owner, who did not want to be identified, said he felt crime was escalating in the city. He was preoccupied by his phone when the woman, whose face was covered by a scarf, walked in with a handgun. "This stuff happens so often," the store owner said.
