Police seeking armed robbery suspect

May 21—The Kokomo Police Department are seeking the suspect in a reported armed robbery.

Around 3:30 p.m. Friday, KPD officers were dispatched to the 1800 block of N. Washington in reference to an armed robbery. Upon arrival, officers identified a female who reported she had been robbed at gunpoint while stepping out of her vehicle.

The suspect is described as a thin black male, who was wearing a black track suit, a durag and tennis shoes that were black with white markings.

The victim told officers that when she was stepping out of her vehicle, the suspect approached her, pointed a gun at her and told her to do what he said so she would not get hurt.
