Cash, Checks Stolen During Armed Robbery At Warsaw's 'On Cue'
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
An undisclosed amount of cash and checks was taken during an alleged armed robbery Thursday night outside On Cue in the Marketplace of Warsaw.
One of the two suspects in the incident reportedly had a knife.
According to a Warsaw Police Department report, two employees were leaving the store shortly after 11 p.m. when the two white males ran toward them from the east side of Radio Shack, which is the easternmost store in the strip mall.
The 30-year-old female employee said she saw the men coming and screamed before dropping her purse and throwing the night deposit bag at them. An 18-year-old male employee also witnessed the robbery.
One of the men reportedly ignored the cast-off bank bag and said, "Where is it?" to the female employee. The other man then yelled, "I have it." The two men turned and ran around the end of the building, but not before one of them stooped to pick up the woman's purse.
A K-9 search of the area led police to the entrance of Wexford Place, a manufactured housing community south of the shopping center. There, police found two $1 bills and fresh tire tracks headed westbound on Pioneer Lane.
Checking with other area businesses, police learned that a suspicious man entered Maxx Tan on Jefferson Street shortly before the On Cue robbery. The man allegedly came into the business to purchase a soda, then said he forgot to grab some money from his vehicle before he came in. He went back out to his red Jeep and never returned. An employee of Maxx Tan told police the man acted nervous.
Both suspects are described as about 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing between 150 and 170 pounds. Both are believed to be in their early 20s. The man who approached the female On Cue employee was wearing beige corduroy pants, a bright-colored striped hat, an army green jacket and a "painting mask." No clothing description was noted for the other man.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Warsaw Police Department at 372-9511. [[In-content Ad]]
