(KAIR)--Taken by force, tied up, and robbed.

That's what happened to an employee of Atchison's Dollar General around 6:00 Wednesday morning. “A female employee was entering the store when a subject approached her, forced her into the store and took cash,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News. “The suspect tied the employee up so she was unable to call for help for a period of time until a second employee arrived at the store.”

The employee remained bound for around two hours after she was taken captive.

He says investigators believe the male suspect, after committing the crime, fled the scene behind the wheel of a vehicle stolen from outside the business. “We're also looking for a 2014 GMC Terrain SUV that was parked outside the store, that was also taken following this robbery.”

The store, located in the 700 block of Kansas Avenue, had had not yet opened for business when the robbery occurred.

Details regarding the suspect aren't immediately made public, nor is the amount of cash, or what merchandise, was netted in the robbery.
