The perpetrators of the robbery entered the establishment and used fire extinguishers to spray the patrons, causing not only fear but also material damage to food and furnishings. After the incident, the assailants stole the cash from the register before fleeing.
This incident adds to another recent robbery in the commercial area of Parque Oeste, specifically at an electronics store, Media Markt. According to reports from Telemadrid, that first incident was a 'crash-and-grab' carried out in the early hours of Monday.
The thieves entered with fire extinguishers, and proceeded to empty them on the customers, although it also fell on the food, causing more damage.
Authorities, including the National Police, are investigating both robberies. It has been reported that the two vehicles, both Audi brand (including a Q7), used in the assault on the electronics store have already been identified. The license plates have been flagged, and the clarification of events by security forces is expected.
