Some change and a few packs of cigarettes. That was the loot of two robbers who struck at the Shell gas station on Parallelweg in Fijnaart on Friday evening, February 18. The employee behind the cash register was threatened with a large kitchen knife. The robbers forced her to open the cash register. She was terrified.
After opening the register, she had to sit on the floor with her face to the wall. Later she tells the police that at that moment she was really afraid that the robbers would do something to her. That they would stab her.
When the perpetrators run off with the money and the cigarettes, the employee calls 112. When the police arrive at the gas station, the perpetrators have flown. The investigation program Bureau Brabant paid attention to the robbery on Monday evening. Pictures of the perpetrators were shown. It also became clear in the broadcast that the police have found another track.
Glove found
A sniffer dog has found a glove near the gas station, on Populierenstraat to be precise.
The glove is being examined for DNA traces, but the police also hope that someone recognizes the garment and possibly knows who the glove belongs to. It may belong to one of the robbers.
Striking detail: one of the robbers has a special walk. He seems to have bow legs.
