Police in Audubon are investigating the armed robbery Sunday night, of a Subway sandwich shop. Audubon Police Officer Coby Gust told KJAN News the incident happened at the store located on north Highway 71, at around 9:30-p.m., Sunday. Gust said a man dressed in black from head-to-toe, entered the store and verbally demanded money from a male clerk. He displayed what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun. No injuries were reported. The suspect left out the back door on foot, in an unknown direction of travel. It’s not known if he used a get-away vehicle after he left the store.

Audubon Police are interviewing employees of the store to see if there was any video surveillance of the incident. And, according to reports, another business, B’s Trading Post, in Audubon, was burglarized Sunday night. No employees were present at the time the incident occurred, and it’s not clear exactly when the business was hit.

The Audubon Police Department is asking anyone with information about the crimes to call them at 712-563-2500.
