25-year-old caught within minutes of robbing 58-year-old at station

 

Thanks to swift response from the police, a 25-year-man was able to be arrested after he had robbed a 58-old-man of his wallet at the station last Tuesday morning.

The incident happened shortly before 11.20 am, the police subsequently setting off in hot pursuit of the robber who had fled in the direction of Rotkreuz.

Thanks to the description the police had been given, they were soon able to spot the culprit in the Zythus area of the municipality. He was duly taken to the police station for questioning but had discarded the wallet while fleeing. Fortunately, this was able to be found later by Alpenstrasse. The thief, who turned out to be Turkish national, can now expect to hear from the Zug Prosecution Service.
