“Do as I say and listen to me, I won’t shoot you,” Wittman allegedly said to the employee.

“The accused continued to question [the victim] about the cat [and] during this conversation the accused continued to point the gun towards [the victim] with his finger on the trigger,” a detective said.

Wittmann is facing kidnapping, false imprisonment, and armed robbery charges. He asked for bail but was denied.

“The community would be at risk personally of him committing further offenses if granted bail,” the judge said. “On this occasion, he’s acted to get back possession of a cat, which he was only going to be without for possibly 10 hours.”

“He has collected a series of weapons. I’ve looked through his mobile telephone which highlights he’s purchased further weapons which are due to be delivered to his home address.”

While detectives were searching the crime scene the next day, Wittmann allegedly returned to retrieve his cat.
