A 17-year-old has admitted his involvement in the violent robbery of a Woolston liquor store.
Tamatea Lorenzo Briggs, of Linwood, is the third to admit taking part in the August 29 incident in which a sales assistant had full bottles of alcohol smashed over his head.
Two other offenders aged 15 and 16 have admitted aggravated robbery charges in the Youth Court jurisdiction because of their age.
Briggs was older and has been dealt with in the District Court where he has pleaded guilty to charges of assault – not part of the robbery – and being an accessory after the robbery.
He did not enter the liquor store, but drove the vehicle that was used.
Briggs was remanded to April 13 for a Crown sentencing. A pre-sentence report and a victim impact report have been ordered ahead of the sentencing.
