Riley County Police are actively investigating an armed robbery that occurred Wednesday morning.
RCPD received a call of a robbery at the Dairy Queen on N 3rd Street at approximately 9:50 a.m., according to a release by the department. Officers are still on scene.

He fled the scene heading westbound. No injuries were reported, but RCPD set up a perimeter that extends to the area of Bluemont Elementary. The school was put on secure campus status — similar to a lockdown — at the request of RCPD.
