Officers were called to the bank in Don Street, in central Invercargill, shortly before 12.30pm today after the man entered with a knife and demanded cash.

The bank is just down the road from the police station and after the man left the premises he handed himself in a short time later, with a small quantity of cash.

The man has been charged with aggravated robbery.
