Robber uses betting shop loo to mask up

A man who used a betting shop toilet in Vienna-Floridsdorf then held up staff at gun point yesterday (Tues) evening, police said today.

The man entered the shop, greeted an employee and asked to use the toilet before changing some money. When he exited the toilet, he had a mask on his face and a chrome-plated pistol in his hand.

He forced the terrified bookie to open the safe and then took off with his winnings.
