(KAIR)--A Sunday night robbery at an Atchison retail store led to the theft of cash and to a police investigation to locate the suspect.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says it happened around 10:00 Sunday night, at the Atchison Walmart, located at 1920 U.S. Highway 73, when "an employee in the customer service area was entering an office door when she was approached by a male who grabbed a cash bag she was holding," with Wilson adding that "although the suspect struggled briefly with the employee and pushed her as he ran from the area, he did not display any type of weapon."

With the cash bag in hand, the man fled the store with the money whose value is not publicly disclosed by police.

The suspect is described as a tall black man, with long dreadlocks, and wearing a black t-shirt, a pair of sweatpants with white dots on them, and a surgical or covid type mask. He left the area of the alleged robbery, Wilson says, in a white Chrysler Pacifica. It's believed by investigators that the vehicle left the Walmart parking lot west on Raven Hill Road and south on U.S.73.

Anyone with information related to the Atchison robbery should contact Atchison Police at 913-367-4323.
