Dramatic scenes took place Saturday morning in a tobacco shop in Vienna. A masked man threatened an employee with a gun and robbed the tobacconist. The ensuing escape did not last long. The handcuffs already clicked on the robber.
Masked with a motorcycle helmet, the 18-year-old entered the tobacconist’s shop in the Landstrasse district around 7 a.m. Suddenly he pulled out a gun and threatened an employee with it.

The employee fulfilled his demand for cash and cigarettes. Two witnesses entered the premises. The suspect, meanwhile in possession of the loot, then fled on a moped, which he had previously parked in front of the tobacco shop.

During an immediate house search, the police officers managed to apprehend and arrest the alleged perpetrator in the vicinity of Leberstrasse in the Simmering district. The moped on which the young man escaped was reported stolen a few days ago. Both the loot and the gun, a blank pistol, have been seized.
