Warsaw police are investigating an armed robbery that was reported Friday evening at a North Detroit Street business.
A male wearing a black ski mask and wielding a handgun reportedly approached a female employee of Pioneer Auto Sales as she was leaving the business about 6 p.m. Friday and demanded she give him her purse. The purse was actually a black case used to take money to the bank and the woman told police she immediately handed it over.
The suspect then fled on foot, with a witness attempting to follow him. However, the man got away with the case containing about $8,500.
Fritz, the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department K-9, was brought in to track the suspect, but the trail was lost near the Biblical Gardens.
The suspect is described as between 6 feet and 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing about 175 pounds. He was wearing dark clothing at the time of the robbery.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Warsaw Police Department at 372-9511.
