Columbus, OH – An incident occurred at a business in the 2500 block of Lockbourne Rd. on Wednesday at around 11:46 a.m. A suspect entered the establishment, assaulted an employee with a pistol, and demanded money from the cash register.

The employee, following the suspect’s command, handed over the cash, after which the suspect fled in an unspecified direction. The suspect’s face was largely obscured during the robbery, though a manager presented a screenshot depicting the suspect’s entry into the store earlier.

The suspect is described as a black male, aged between 45 to 60 years old, with a height of 5’9″ and weighing 150 pounds. The Columbus Division of Police Robbery Unit is conducting the investigation.
