Man arrested for robbery with a knife in Odda

A young female shop worker was robbed in the centre of Odda on Saturday afternoon. A man in his twenties has been arrested for the robbery.

– The woman is affected by what happened. She has been unconscious according to what we have been told, but was supposedly not injured by the knife she was threatened with. She may have been pushed or has tripped and fallen, says the Operations Manager in the West Police District, Tatjana Knappen, to Bergens Tidende.

The young woman is now taken care of by health personnel.

The police have arrested a man in his twenties at home in his own apartment who is suspected of the robbery. The arrest occurred after the victim of the robbery made a description of the perpetrator to the police.
