A man armed with a pistol robbed a petrol station on Tivolska Street in Ljubljana, demanding money from staff before fleeing the scene on an electric scooter, according to police reports. The incident occurred around 20:30 on Monday, September 1, 2026. Witnesses captured footage of the robbery, which shows the suspect, wearing a mask, entering the shop and confronting employees with a gun. He reportedly demanded cash, emptied several banknotes from the till, and left the premises on an electric scooter. The video recorded by a bystander captures the suspect’s actions in detail. He appears tall, between 180 and 190 centimeters, with average build. He was dressed in a grey jacket and black tracksuit, wore black sports shoes, and had his face covered with a scarf. He also wore black gloves and a dark cap with a brim. His speech was in Slovenian. After leaving the store, he disappeared from view, while another man in a white shirt, who had been hiding behind a car, asked, “What do you have there?” A second male voice can be heard in the background mentioning the gun. Police were alerted to the robbery shortly after 20:30. According to their initial findings, the unidentified perpetrator entered the shop and demanded money from the staff. He brandished a pistol to intimidate them and took several banknotes from the cash register before escaping on an electric scooter. The suspects' description aligns across multiple reports: a tall, middle-sized man in a grey jacket and black tracksuit, wearing black shoes, black gloves, and a dark cap with a brim, with his face concealed under a scarf. He spoke in Slovenian. The police conducted an inspection of the crime scene and continue to gather information about all circumstances surrounding the robbery. They will provide updates to the appropriate state prosecutor's office once they have more details. The case has drawn attention due to its unusual nature, using a firearm during a robbery and fleeing on an electric scooter. This method of escape highlights the evolving tactics used by criminals in urban areas. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the suspect’s appearance caused alarm among nearby individuals. One person, who filmed the incident, later approached the entrance to try to capture footage of the suspect, but he had already vanished. Another witness, a man in a white shirt, appeared briefly from behind a vehicle, expressing confusion over the suspect’s presence. These observations add to the complexity of the case, though they remain anecdotal and unverified. Authorities are currently working to identify the suspect through surveillance footage and public appeals. The police have not yet released a formal description of the suspect beyond the physical attributes outlined in their preliminary statements. However, the combination of a weapon and an unconventional mode of escape suggests that this may be part of a broader pattern of criminal behavior in the area. There are no indications of prior incidents involving similar methods, though the frequency of such crimes in Ljubljana remains a concern for local law enforcement. As investigations progress, the police emphasize that they are gathering all available information and will take further action once sufficient evidence is compiled. The case underscores the need for increased security measures at retail locations, particularly those located in high-traffic areas. While the immediate focus remains on locating the suspect, the incident has sparked discussions about the effectiveness of current safety protocols and the potential for future preventive strategies. The police have not indicated whether they expect additional cases of this nature in the near future.
