The three were quietly queuing for the cash register of the Jumbo on Franciscusdreef around 8 p.m., until the 24-year-old Utrechter grabbed an axe, threatened the cashier with it and then smashed the cash register into ruins with a lot of noise. He ran off with the cash drawer, but didn’t get very far because he was being chased by a group of bystanders. He was eventually arrested by the police near Mexicodreef.
