<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">At approximately 10:15 a.m. on Feb. 27, Columbia Police responded to a report of a strong-arm robbery that occurred in the parking lot at Sam's Club, 101 Conley Road.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upon arrival, the officers were told that a male had grabbed a female's purse and fled toward Highway 63. The first responding officer observed the suspect crossing Highway 63 eastbound and called for additional assistance from officers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CPD officers established a perimeter, but were not able to locate the suspect. A Boone County Sheriff’s Department’s K-9 officer assisted and scanned the areas of Keene Street, up to the I-70 connector, over to Berrywood Drive and Woodridge Drive, when the search was terminated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The suspect, who escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, was described as a white male with a beard in his 40s who has a scar on his eyebrow. He was last seen wearing a green camouflage beanie type hat with a dark green sweater with brown khaki pants. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The victim was not injured. This is an ongoing investigation, there are no further details to provide at this time. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anyone with information about this incident is urged to please contact the Columbia Police Department at 573.874.7652 or CrimeStoppers at 573.875.TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous. </span></p>
