HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Four men have been arrested in association with the Kwik Shop robbery case back on Jan. 27.
The four have been identified as 18-year-old Dakota Sean Michael Ney, 19-year-old Karl Ray Koenig, 20-year-old Kurt Koenig and 19-year-old Drake Ryan Lindsay.
On Friday, Detectives of the Hutchinson Police Department executed two search warrants in reference to the robbery at the Kwik Shop and a burglary at south side Smoke Shop. The first search warrant was executed at a home in the 7oo block of East Ave A. Inside the residence officers located a large amount of the stolen property. A second search warrant was obtained for a home in the unit block of West 10th where more stolen property was located.
Charges against the four include aggravated robbery, aggravated battery, burglary, theft and criminal damage to property. Three of the arrest coming around mid-afternoon Friday and the fourth coming late in the evening.
The convenience store was robbed by three white males at gun point, however police now believe there was the fourth person involved.
As we have previously reported, the female clerk was compliant, however, she was still severely beaten by the suspects. They took an undetermined amount of money and tobacco products then fled the store on foot.
Bonds in the case were set at $125,000 for each defendant and unless they post the bonds, they should make a first appearance in court Monday morning.
The investigation is still ongoing
