Wore FFP2 mask
Burly robber holds up tobacconist: Police on the lookout
An armed robbery kept the police in Vienna-Favoriten on their toes on Monday: a previously unknown man wearing an FFP2 mask is said to have stormed a tobacconist's and threatened the 59-year-old owner with a knife. Despite a large-scale manhunt, the perpetrator was able to escape.

He then allegedly pulled out a folding knife and demanded cash. After reaching into the open cash register, he stole a mid three-digit euro amount and fled on foot in the direction of Reumannplatz.
Major manhunt was unsuccessful
The alerted police immediately launched a manhunt, but the perpetrator has so far remained untraceable. The Vienna State Office of Criminal Investigation took over the investigation, which was initially led by officers from the Sibeliusstrasse police station.
The police are now asking the public for help. Information - also anonymous - is accepted at 01-31310 DW 33800 .
