Toledo police are seeking information about the robbery of a cash advance loan business in October.

A man entered First American Cash Advance in the 200 block of West Alexis Road at 12:58 p.m. Oct. 27 and demanded cash from a clerk. He threatened to shoot her if she did not comply. Once he got the cash, he made her go to a back room and open the safe, taking cash from it.

He then ordered her into the bathroom and fled in an unknown direction, police said. The man was described as about 6 feet, 1 inch tall, in his 20s or 30s, with a full beard. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stopper program.
