An unknown person attacked two tobacconists in Vienna-Donaustadt in a short time on Friday morning. After the young man failed in the first tobacconist, he struck in another a little later and in this case made off with cash, police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger reports.
Shortly before 10 a.m., the dark-dressed and unmasked young man entered the first shop in the Aspern district of Donaustadt and threatened a tobacconist with a gun. “If it was a fake gun, it at least looked deceptively real,” Hasslinger said. The woman ran screaming into the office. The robber fled the store shortly afterwards.
investigations are underway
While the detectives were still investigating the first shop, the perpetrator struck a second time in another tobacco shop in Aspern. This time he robbed money and escaped unnoticed. Based on the description of the perpetrator, it quickly became clear that it was the same perpetrator.
A search, also with the support of a police helicopter, turned up nothing. The investigation was carried out by the northern department of the National Investigation Department.
