A man with a knife committed a robbery at a Jumbo supermarket on Pagelaan in Eindhoven on Wednesday evening around half past seven. It was very busy inside at that time. The police are busy searching the area for the perpetrator. He grabbed from the cash register and then fled on foot. The store has been evacuated.
The cash registers in the supermarket have been cordoned off by officers. An elderly woman was checked in the supermarket by emergency ambulance personnel. It is unclear whether she was injured. At least she didn’t have to go to the hospital by ambulance.
The store has been evacuated by the police and new customers are no longer allowed to enter the store. Some parents of employees have come to the store because their children called them to pick them up.

The police warn people not to approach the perpetrator themselves. The police have sent a Burgetnet report with a description of the perpetrator. It concerns a light-skinned man, 1 meter 70 tall. He was wearing a balaclava, dark clothes and a padded jacket.
