A suspect has been arrested in connection with an incident at a Fast-Gas convenience store in Buchanan County on Sunday night, March 6.

Authorities say the suspect entered the Platte Valley Conoco at U.S. Highway 36 and 85th Road. As he was paying for an item, the suspect reached into the cash register, took cash, and fled in a red Jeep Cherokee driven by another individual. (click here)

The Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office put out surveillance photography depicting the suspect and the vehicle, in hopes of identifying the suspect. That effort has apparently paid off. On Tuesday, the department announced they had located and arrested the suspect.

His name was not released, pending the possible filing of criminal charges. Officials say the case will be submitted to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Officer for consideration of possible charges.

In a statement, Sheriff Mike Strong offered his thanks for help provided by the community.
