The incident took place in one of the stores in Legnica. – Two men stole goods including coffee, toys and electric shavers – says junior officer Tomasz Nowak from the Press Section of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wrocław. – The store security guard, seeing the entire situation, approached the men and asked them to go with him to the staff room.
At that point, the 22- and 24-year-olds began behaving aggressively. Spokesperson: – One of them lifted his sweatshirt, showing the employee intervening that he had a weapon.
The security guard again tried to detain them, but the suspects began wrestling with him, and one of them, heading toward the exit, pulled an object resembling a weapon from behind his waistband and “pointed” it at the unarmed store employee.
The suspects then fled.
After being informed of the incident, police officers immediately began efforts to identify the perpetrators. Thanks to surveillance footage, they recognized the suspects at once. (They had already been charged with robberies, thefts, extortion, aggravated thefts and burglaries.)
The two thieves were caught within several dozen minutes: one was detained at a bus stop, and the other at his place of residence.
Police are currently clarifying the circumstances of the incident in detail. Junior officer T. Nowak: – The men will soon be questioned, and the prosecutor will decide what happens to them next. Robbery carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
