Warsaw Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred yesterday afternoon, Thursday, June 18, 2015, at Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco located at 702 N. Detroit Street, in Warsaw. Around 3:00 p.m., an employee called police and advised that a black male, in a white shirt and white car, had just robbed the store at gunpoint.
The investigation found that a black male approached the counter after choosing some incense and cigars and asked for cigarettes. As the clerk turned back around, the male had a gun pointed at the clerk and demanded that the cash register be opened. The clerk could not get the register open so the suspect walked behind the counter and eventually the drawer was opened. The suspect grabbed most of the cash in the drawer and told the clerk to get on the ground. The suspect then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, in an unknown type white car and in an unknown direction. The clerk was not injured and called 911.
The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 25 years old, thin build, and approximately 6 feet tall. The suspect was wearing a white baseball cap, white shirt, and dark pants. The vehicle was described as a white passenger car, unknown in size or type.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is requested to call the Warsaw Police Investigations Division at 574-372-9526.
