SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Department of Public Safety is seeking a suspect for armed robbery.
An employee of the Fas Gas at the corner of West Malone and East Street reported Thursday that after closing and locking up the business Thursday he was approached by a tall, thin black male in a mask and wearing black clothing.
"Apparently he was putting the trash in the dumpster just prior to leaving," DPS Capt. Bill Mygatt said.
The suspect demanded the deposit which the employee stated he did not have access to, according to Mygatt, after which he robbed the employee of his personal money.
Individuals with information about this or any other crime should call DPS at 471-6200 or the Sikeston DPS CrimeStoppers line, 471-1500. All tips can be kept confidential.
