A Lincoln Police officer was at the Kwik Shop at 23rd and Cornhusker early Tuesday morning following up on an unrelated case when the clerk reported that he had been robbed an hour earlier.
“The victim described an unknown male entering the store at 12:30 a.m. offering to trade marijuana for merchandise and cash,” Sergeant Chris Vollmer says.
Vollmer says the clerk refused and the suspect left only to return around 3:45 a.m. where he grabbed $25 in merchandise. “He threatened to kill the victim and his family if he told anyone of the incident. This led to the hesitation in the victim calling police.”
Vollmer says the suspect got away with some red bull, wine, gatorade and a sandwich. Vollmer says the clerk was not hurt and the suspect did not display a weapon .
The search continues for the suspect.
