Following an attack on a supermarket in Maria Ellend (Bruck / Leitha district), a police alert is being issued.
Early Tuesday evening there was an attack on a supermarket in Maria Ellend (district of Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria). As researchers “Today” confirm, there was a great alarm chase. The police force has massively increased throughout the district. A police helicopter was also used. As announced by the police in the evening, two suspects have now been arrested.
Employees threatened with a weapon
Around 6:05 pm, the police were ordered to go to the supermarket. An initially unknown perpetrator is said to have threatened an employee in the checkout area with an alleged gun (it is not yet clear whether it is real or fake) and forced him to hand over cash. After she handed this to him, the man ran out of the store and got into a white van with a second perpetrator waiting in front of the store and then fled with him.
Two suspects captured
When an alarm search was started immediately, two suspects could be arrested. The Lower Austrian State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation to clarify the circumstances and control the individuals.
Nobody was hurt in the incident. The investigation will continue until Wednesday morning.
