A masked man entered the petrol station, threatened a 51-year-old employee with a pistol, and forced him to hand over the takings, then fled through the rear exit. A power outage occurred at the station shortly before the robbery. Police responded immediately, secured the scene, and launched a search. Police subsequently arrested a 25‑year‑old suspect who confessed. Officers recovered the full stolen amount and seized the gas pistol used in the offence. The suspect is undergoing criminal processing.
