SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a robbery and have made an arrest.

Just before 12:30a.m. Thursday, police responded to a disturbance with a weapon call at a business in the 9400 block of East Harry in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.

Upon arrival, officers made contact with a 20-year-old woman who reported meeting with Crawford Anderson, 20, Wichita, at the location.

During the meeting, Anderson entered her car, pointed a handgun at her, and demanded property.

Anderson took the property and then fled from the vehicle on foot. No one was injured, according to Davidson.

Through the investigation, it was learned the preplanned meeting involved an illegal drug transaction, and Anderson was determined to be involved. Officers located him Thursday afternoon in the 9400 block of East Harry, and he was arrested without incident. He was booked on requested charges of aggravated robbery.

Some of the property taken in the robbery was recovered, according to Davidson.
