The Mission Police Department is investigating after a person robbed a Mission Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh convenience store at gunpoint Monday night.
Police Chief Dan Madden says the incident happened at about 9:09 p.m., at the Hy-Vee store at 6659 Martway St., next to the Hy-Vee grocery store.
“The victims reported that a suspect entered the store with a face covering and then presented a handgun and demanded money,” Madden said. “The suspect fled on foot.”
Mission Police were assisted by officers from Fairway, Merriam, Prairie Village and Roeland Park.
Officers surrounded and evacuated the Hy-Vee grocery store, nearby at 6655 Martway St., and searched the building to confirm that the suspect was not inside the grocery.
A police drone also searched the area around the building.
The suspect was not located during the search.
“Detectives are trying to gather evidence and information to develop a suspect in the case,” Madden said.
No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information is asked to call Mission Police at 913-676-8300 or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477. Callers to the TIPS Hotline can remain anonymous.
