– During a visit to one of the grocery discount stores in Jelenia Góra, the man hid a package of coffee under his jacket, intending to take it without paying. One of the employees noticed what he was doing and asked him to return the goods – reports Sub-Inspector Edyta Bagrowska, press officer of the Jelenia Góra Municipal Police Headquarters. – Instead of complying with her request, the man behaved aggressively. In order to keep the stolen goods, he got into a scuffle with the store staff. In addition, he waved a knife and threatened two other employees with death.

The police officers who arrived at the scene took the aggressive customer into custody and secured the knife he had used to threaten them. He was arrested and taken to police custody.
The 40-year-old now faces up to 10 years in prison. He has also been placed under police supervision.
