Area authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying an armed robber.
According to a post on the Marshall Police Department’s Facebook page, just before 9:30 p.m. on Monday, January 7, Saline County 9-1-1 dispatched all-available law-enforcement officers to Casey’s General Store at 121 East Eastwood Street in regards to an armed robbery in progress.
Employees and citizens inside the store described the man as approximately 6-foot tall, wearing a black stocking cap, dark-colored sunglasses, black sweatshirt, black mask, black gloves and black sweatpants.
Witnesses said the man entered the store and pointed a handgun at an employee; then took a money tray from a cash register and ran from the store heading north on Odell Avenue.
Marshall Police detectives have been following up on several leads, but still are asking for the public’s assistance.
