Lovat officers swiftly responded to a reported robbery in the Woolford Tower on Level Eight. According to witnesses, the suspect entered a local establishment, ordered a coffee and a sandwich, and attempted to settle the bill with a check that was unfortunately declined. After leaving the store briefly, the suspect returned, this time asking for a job application.
Seizing an opportune moment, the suspect followed the clerk behind the counter, coercing him to open the cash register by implying the presence of a concealed weapon. The suspect grabbed handfuls of cash before hastily fleeing the scene. Despite the prompt deployment of a K-9 unit in an attempt to track the suspect, the pursuit yielded no success.
The investigation is ongoing.
