A clerk at Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco, 702 N. Detroit St., Warsaw, allegedly was held at gunpoint during a robbery Thursday around 3 p.m. A store employee called Warsaw Police Department saying that a black male, approximately 25 years old and 6 feet tall, had robbed the store at gunpoint and escaped. The suspect was said to be wearing a white shirt, white baseball cap, dark pants and was driving a white passenger car. According to police, the man approached the counter after looking around the store and asked the clerk for cigarettes. As the clerk turned back around to give the man his cigarettes, he pointed the gun at the clerk and demanded that the cash register be opened. The clerk could not get the register open, so the suspect came around 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 direction. The clerk was not injured in the robbery and called 911. Police are continuing the investigation and request anyone with any information call Warsaw Police Investigations Division at 574-372-9526.
