In Krasnoyarsk, a robber with a pistol attacked a convenience store saleswoman (video)

In Krasnoyarsk, police detained a robber who attacked a saleswoman in a convenience store with a pistol. This was reported to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the region.

On the night of November 2-3, the duty department received a message that a suspicious man was walking along Shevchenko Street in the regional center with a pistol in his hands. A patrol squad arrived at the indicated address. To identify possible witnesses, police entered the store. An employee of the retail outlet told police that some time ago a stranger came with a weapon and demanded money from her.

However, the man failed to make money. The woman told the robber that there was no money in the register. The attacker believed the saleswoman’s words and left.

“During the operational activities, criminal investigation officers of the Krasnoyarsk police identified the suspect and detained him with the forceful support of members of the Russian Guard. The attacker turned out to be a local resident born in 1998,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.

The man said that at the time of the crime he was heavily intoxicated and was not aware of his actions. The gun the man used to attack the shopkeeper is believed to be a signal gun. Law enforcement officers seized it during a search in the robber's house and sent it for examination.

A criminal case was opened against the man under Part 2 of Art. 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The hijacker is now in custody.
