Suspects tied up employee, stole medications from west Wichita long-term home, police say
Police are asking for help finding three people — two men and a woman — who allegedly tied up an employee of a long-term care facility and stole medications Wednesday morning, Wichita police spokesperson Trevor Macy said.
Police were called to the armed robbery at 4:50 a.m. in the 600 block of South Maize Court. Both Avita Assisted Living and Memory Care and Reflection Living are located in that block.
A 27-year-old woman who worked at the business said three people dressed in black scrubs knocked on the door and forced their way in when she opened it. One had a gun, Macy said.
Two of the suspects tied her up and then all three stole various medications before leaving and heading northwest, where they got into a silver hatchback or small SUV waiting near Hayden and Maize. They then left southbound on Maize.
The employee was not injured.
Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 316-268-4407 or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111. Callers can remain anonymous with Crime Stoppers and could be eligible for a reward if their tip leads to an arrest.
