(KAIR)--A midweek armed robbery at a Missouri smokeshop, located just east of Atchison, Kansas. is under investigation by the Buchanan County Missouri Sheriff's Office, and public information is wanted to help lead to the arrest of the suspect.
The Sheriff's Office, in a release, has identified the man they are seeking as a black male, aged 30 to 40, wearing a white hat, blue bandana style face covering, a maroon shirt, grey sweatpants, grey shoes, and black and blue gloves.
