A MAN robbed from a petrol station while armed with a long metal rod.
Dominik Krahel made off with £200 and packets of cigarettes from the Esso station in Glasgow’s Anniesland on May 5 2020.
The 28-year-old entered with his face covered and initially demanded cash be put in an envelope.
Krahel then smashed up the till with the rod before heading into the staff area and swiping the money.

The first offender pleaded guilty on Wednesday at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assault and robbery.
Prosecutor John Bedford said: “He had an envelope in one hand and a black rod the size of his lower arm in the other.
“Krahel put the envelope on the counter and told the shop assistant ‘fast fast money’.”

Krahel smashed the till with the rod before taking further cash and cigarettes.
He was later found at his home in the city’s Govan and was arrested.
Sentence was deferred until next month for background reports by Sheriff Paul Crozier who continued Krahel’s bail meantime.
