Officers from the Warsaw Police Department are searching for three white men in connection to an armed robbery Friday night.
According to an incident report filed by the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Octaviano Ayala Vazquez was attacked by the three men at 9:47 p.m. Friday near the American Table restaurant in Warsaw.
Vazquez told police that he was walking home to Eastgate Apartments when he walked past a vehicle near a dumpster in the Nothern Lakes Orthopedics parking lot. When he passed the dumpster, the men came out from behind it and asked him for money. When Vazquez told them he had none, they hit him in the left leg with an aluminum bat and fled the scene in a red, four-door vehicle, according to the report.
Vazquez told police they travelled east on Lake City Highway. Police searched the area but found nothing.
Vazquez refused medical treatment, the report states. Local authorities are still looking for the three men, described as young, thin and white.
