Detectives with the Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office are asking for the public\u2019s help in providing tips or camera footage related to an armed robbery of a Jimmy John\u2019s in Independence Township Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Deputies were called to the location at 5601 Sashabaw Rd. around 10:45 p.m. after receiving reports of an armed robbery that had just occurred.<\/p>\n
A preliminary investigation found that a male suspect gained entry into the business by shattering the glass of a rear door. Once inside, the suspect confronted two female employees with a handgun and demanded access to the store\u2019s safe. When the employees told the suspect they didn\u2019t have access to the safe, the suspect reportedly told them to place their purses on the counter. They both complied, and the suspect fled with the purses through the rear door on foot.<\/p>\n
The Sheriff\u2019s Office conducted a search of the area but were unable to locate the suspect. He was wearing a mask, black hooded sweatshirt and black shoes at the time of the incident. No other description of the suspect was provided.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really could use the public\u2019s help on this case,\u201d Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a news release. \u201cIf you were in the area around the time of the incident, or you have a business or a home that has a camera that may have caught the person on foot, or a car fleeing the area, we would greatly appreciate that information being shared with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Any leads can be shared by calling the Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office Independence Township Substation at 258-620-4968 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP.<\/p>\n
