Law officers in Northwest Ohio are searching for a suspect in connection with an armed robbery that occurred Monday night in Defiance. At about 10:47pm, deputies from the Defiance County Sheriff’s Office responded to the parking lot of Newman’s Carryout, in the 1400 block of Ralston Avenue. Two subjects in the parking lot were approached by a male subject wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, ski mask, and black hat, that was brandishing a gun, and demanding money from the two victims.
The suspect male fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Deputies summoned help from the Defiance Police, a K-9 unit, along with the Highway Patrol; but the suspect was not located. The subject is still at-large.
