Shopkeeper threatened by masked man with hand gun

A shopkeeper at a food store in Allenwinden was threatened by man armed with a handgun yesterday afternoon.
The incident happened at 3.30pm at the shop on Dorfstrasse, where the man, who was wearing a mask, threatened the woman assistant with a hand gun and demanded money. He fled the scene a few moments later. It was not mentioned if any cash was handed over.

The man in question was described as very slim, between 170 and 180 cm tall and wearing a grey pullover, a black hoodie and jeans, his face covered with a balaclava.

The Zug police have since issued an appeal for anyone who may have noticed anything suspicious in the Dorfstrasse Dorfmatt area, or a man fitting the afore-mentioned description, to call the police on 041 728 41 41 without delay. It is thought he may have been loitering in the area before he entered the shop.

As mentioned, no-one was injured in the incident.
