The BNZ branch in Manukau was robbed on Friday by a man who left a bag containing what the police say was a convincing imitation bomb.

Detective Sergeant Dave Honiss says officers are working through a list of several suspects.

He says several people have supplied information about who they think the man might be, and some have also been able to tell the police about his movements before he arrived at the bank.
