Many details still unclear, the loot not too high, the perpetrators on the run! Even a day after the robbery of a tobacconist's in the Liefering district of Salzburg, there are still many unanswered questions.

The fact is that two men entered the tobacco shop in Münchner Bundesstraße at around 11 a.m. on Thursday. They did not hesitate, threatened the sales clerk with a knife and demanded cash. The woman opened the till and handed over all the day's takings to the perpetrators. The strangers fled on foot. According to the police, the robbers only took a "small amount of cash". 

The police immediately launched a manhunt. This was called off in the afternoon without having achieved anything. The State Office of Criminal Investigation took up the investigation. The police secured evidence around the tobacconist's building for several hours.
