On March 31st, 2011 at approximately 1908 hours, the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from the Casey’s General Store in Akron, Iowa that they had been robbed. The clerk advised that two (2) Hispanic males robbed her and took an undetermined amount of cash. The clerk advised that the subjects ran from the business and got into a vehicle and fled the scene.
A private citizen observed what had happened and followed the vehicle east out of Akron, Iowa and then the vehicle continued south on county road K-13. Once they reached the intersection, the vehicle attempted to make a left turn onto county road C-38 and lost control and went into the south ditch. At that time, three subjects fled from the vehicle but were apprehended by Plymouth County Deputies and Akron Police Department.
