TOPEKA —
An armed man robbed someone at the Topeka Livestock Auction this morning.
The hold-up occurred around 7:15 a.m. LaGrange County police said an individual was approached by a man armed with a handgun and wearing a ski mask and dark-colored clothes. The robber demanded money and left on foot after obtaining cash from the victim.
The robber was described as a white male, around 5 feet 4 inches tall, 20 to 30 years old and having a slender build.
