He was taken into custody.
Robbery without a weapon
The 30-year-old respondent was arrested shortly after the incident at his home in Saint-Brieuc and placed in police custody.
He had previously presented himself in a bar-tabac near his accommodation.
He was unarmed but had his face masked and had asked the boss to give him the money from the till.
The latter, helped by several clients, had put the robber to flight and chased him.
An investigation showed that the Breton was also the author of an attempted robbery committed on May 19 in front of a vending machine.
He was then armed.
