The Adair County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a possible armed robbery at a country store and a home invasion by two masked males.
Adair County 911 dispatch received a call Monday at 5:08 a.m. that someone had forcibly entered a residence on Rose Lane by breaking the door frame.
Sheriff deputy B.J. Bray responded to the scene where the homeowner reported that the two males entered his residence and he confronted them with a firearm before they fled on foot.
A white Scion TC was seen in the area a few minutes after the incident. The two white males were described as being 5’8” slender, and wearing ski masks and jeans.
Deputy Aaron Rainwater is now investigating the case. Anyone with information relating to the incident is urged to contact the sheriff’s department at 384-2776.
