On Monday, a 60-year-old was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison at the Eisenstadt Regional Court for a robbery at a drugstore in Mattersburg last July.

The man initially posed as a customer and placed his purchases on the checkout belt. However, when the cashier opened the register, he pulled out a kitchen knife, demanded cash, and fled with around 930 euros. In court, he pleaded guilty.

Two Years and Nine Months in Prison

After the robbery, the Burgenlander went to a betting shop, where he was eventually arrested and most of the money was recovered. The man stated that he was homeless and unemployed. He is currently in private bankruptcy and has health problems. To afford medication, he urgently needed money: "I couldn't manage anymore."

He insisted that he never intended to harm the cashier, and he apologized to the woman. He accepted the verdict, which is now legally binding.
