MONROE — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a reported robbery at a LaSalle Township carryout.

Deputies reported that, Sunday afternoon, a man went into Fred’s Cash and Carry at 12989 South Telegraph Rd., with a “large knife” and said he was robbing the store.

He went behind the counter, demanded cash from the clerk, and fled on foot once the cash was in hand, deputies said.

Once the suspect ran from the store, he got into the passenger side of a vehicle parked on Telegraph. The suspect is described by deputies as white, 5 feet, 10 inches to 6 feet tall with a medium build, and driving a dark Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 734-240-7530.
