The report came in to the police at 10:14 AM. Shortly before that, the store staff received the unwanted guest. The robber presumably fled on a womens bicycle, wearing a black jacket and jeans. He was said to carry two shopping bags, one in front and one in the back.
A vigilant press photographer later found an abandoned bicycle with empty shopping bags on the Essendonk. A little further away, clothing items were also discovered. These likely belong to the suspect.
