INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department armed robbery investigation led to the arrest of an 18-year-old this week.
According to an IMPD Facebook post, officers responded to the 9000 block of Meadowlark Drive around 2 p.m. on Thursday to investigate a reported armed robbery.
During their investigation, officers spoke with a victim who provided a description of a suspect. Police later realized they had seen an individual matching the description when they arrived at the scene.
IMPD reported that its officers then left the area to try to find the suspect. Police later found and detained 18-year-old Donwan Townsley.
Townsley was already wanted on an outstanding robbery warrant, per IMPD. Police considered Townsley a serious violent felon because of he had a previous robbery conviction on his record.
