A man dressed in black entered the petrol station shop at Sedelstrasse 1 in Emmenbrücke shortly before 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. “He threatened an employee with a knife and demanded cash in broken German,” Lucerne police said on Wednesday. He stowed the money in a sack and then fled in an unknown direction. It is not yet clear how much money the perpetrator stole.
