Saxony-Anhalt: gas station robbery: police are looking for witnesses

Dessau-Roßlau (dpa/sa) - An employee was slightly injured in a gas station robbery in Dessau-Roßlau. As the police announced on Monday, two unknown men are said to have initially threatened two employees aged 38 and 59 with a "pistol-like object" in a gas station on Saturday evening. They demanded that cash be handed over and pushed the 38-year-old aside, causing her to fall. The 59-year-old employee handed the money to one perpetrator while the other perpetrator stole tobacco. They then fled on foot. Both employees were in shock.

The search for the perpetrators that was then initiated was reportedly unsuccessful. The police are looking for witnesses. The amount of cash stolen is in the mid three-digit range.
