TOPEKA, Kan. – Law enforcement authorities are investigating a robbery and have a suspect in custody. Just after 7:30p.m. Sunday, the police responded to a report of a robbery of the Conoco, 2045 N Kansas in Topeka, according to Lt. John Trimble.

The clerk told police an African American man described as having freckles and wearing pantyhose over his face entered the store and demanded money.

The suspect was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and white/black shoes. He did not indicate he had any weapons. The suspect then left the store with an unknown amount of money running NE from the store.
