Columbus police: Armed suspect robbed Speedway

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus police are investigating an aggravated robbery that occurred at a Speedway on the city’s south side Monday.

After customers cleared out of the store — located in the 3800 block of South High Street — the suspect reportedly approached the cashier, ordered her to open the register and said “I’m going to [f-ing] rob you,” according to a Friday news release from the Columbus Division of Police.

The cashier, who told police she saw “the butt of a handgun,” allegedly complied with the suspect’s orders and handed over about $160 in cash.

According to Columbus police, the suspect ran away and traveled southbound towards Obetz Road and the Kozy Inn.
