Police Respond to Armed Robbery at Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco

WARSAW, Ind. (WOWO): Warsaw Police are investigating an armed robbery that happened Thursday afternoon at Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco on N. Detroit Street in Warsaw. Around 3, an employee called police after a black man in a white car had just robbed the store at gunpoint.


The investigation found that the suspect 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 individual, 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.

 

The suspect was described as approximately 25 years old, thin build, and about 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.
