July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
A Warsaw woman was robbed at knifepoint after a man entered her car early Wednesday morning.
According to a report from the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, around 6:20 a.m. Wednesday, the woman was westbound on Dogwood Drive when she saw a man walking in the roadway. After crossing the railroad tracks, she stopped at Ind. 15 and waited to make a right turn.
While the woman's car was stopped at the intersection of Dogwood Drive and Ind. 15, the man got into the car, held an open knife on his lap, and told her to turn left on Ind. 15.
The man, who was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and gloves, told the woman to turn onto Old 15 as he went through her purse.
After telling the woman to turn left on CR 200S, the man had the woman turn right onto Kline's Lane and go back to the business buildings and stop.
Once the woman stopped, the man reportedly held the knife to her neck and told her not to move.
The man then opened the passenger door, emptied the purse and ran into a bean field and disappeared.
The victim locked herself in the car and called police.
When sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene, they checked the outbuildings near the crime scene and tried to track the suspect with a K-9 unit, but nothing was found.
The incident remains under investigation by the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department. [[In-content Ad]]
