File image - Click image to view larger

Shawnee Police are investigating another armed robbery this morning.

A statement  from Shawnee Police says that an officer patrolling the area around 1:50 Tuesday morning when he noticed that he could not see the clerk of the TempStop convenience store at 13515 W. 63rd Street. As the officer parked his patrol car, he was approached by the clerk who had his arms restrained in zip ties behind his back and reported that the store had been robbed.

This morning's incident is the third robbery since February. The store has only been in business for about six months. The first robbery occurred on February 12, 2013, the second occurred around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, May 9th. Operation 100 News is the only media outlet that has reported all three robberies.

In a statement released around 9 a.m., Police say that the suspect is a black male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall with a slender build. He was wearing a black hoodie, black pants, black gloves, sunglasses, and had a black bandanna covering his face.

Police say the suspect approached the clerk while displaying a silver or dark gray revolver and demanded cash from the register. Before leaving, the suspect told the clerk to lie down and used zip ties to handcuff the clerk's arms behind his back. The suspect left on foot and no vehicles were seen. The clerk was not injured.

A K-9 unit from the Lenexa Police Department conducted a brief track which led behind the business where it ended, indicating the suspect probably got into a vehicle.

Shawnee Police Department Major Bill Hisle tells Operation 100 News that "there are similarities in motive to the May 9th robbery," but it is not believed to be the same man.

A source with knowledge of the investigation tells Operation 100 News that Kansas City, Kansas Police and Shawnee Police are investigating a possible connection between the Shawnee robberies and similar cases in Kansas City, Kansas. The latest Kansas City, Kansas robbery occurred at a convenience store near Interstate 435 and Leavenworth Road. In that robbery the clerk was also handcuffed with zip ties.

Regarding the Shawnee robberies, Major Hisle tells Operation 100 News, "this is the third robbery this particular clerk has been a victim of. We are currently exploring the possibility of these robberies being connected to other robberies in the metro, but nothing definitive has been determined as of right now."

The suspects are described as Hispanic males, both said to be in their late teen's or early 20's. Both men were wearing hooded sweatshirts and armed with handguns. The men reportedly fled the area in a silver passenger car westbound on 67th Street from the scene.

A witness told Police that the suspect vehicle ran the railroad crossing gates just as a train was approaching.

Shawnee Police received a report that a man with a handgun entered the QuikTrip store at 6637 Nieman Road. The man reportedly walked into the store and immediately ran back outside. An officer arrived at that scene to learn that a customer was the only witness, and that customer had left the area.

Around 4:20, a Shawnee officer reported a silver car traveling at a high rate of speed near W. 69th Street and Switzer Road. The officer lost sight of the vehicle and then spotted it crashed into a parked vehicle in a driveway in the 10100 block of W. 69th Terrace in Merriam. That officer reported a Hispanic male running southbound from the vehicle. Unconfirmed reports indicated officers have located a handgun inside the now crashed vehicle.

The crashed vehicle that one man was seen running from is also reported to have been the suspect vehicle in a Hit-and-Run accident in Kansas City, Kansas earlier in the night.

Shawnee, Merriam and Overland Park Police established a perimeter in the area and searched for the suspect with the assistance of the Shawnee Police Department's K-9 unit. Officers concluded their area search at 5:53 a.m.. Both suspects remain at large.

At 6:10, Merriam Police reported that they have located the cash drawer near the intersection of W 67th Street and Farley Street, about one-quarter of a mile west of the robbery scene.
