Just after 10am- there was an armed robbery of the Motel 6 in the 6400 block of East 87th Street.
Initially it was reported as "3 black female" suspects- but then it became "3 black males in ski masks" that robbed the motel of around $700- police say.
Those suspects left in "a white Oldsmobile Cutlass" which was spied by a KC-MO South Patrol zone officer about 10:06am on northbound I-435 at 87th Street.
The officer then pursued the vehicle north on I-435 to Blue Parkway where the suspects went westbound.
Supposedly the suspects "tossed out" a shotgun used in the robbery near 63rd Street.
Minutes later- the officer "lost" sight of the suspect vehicle near Blue Parkway and Lawn.
At 10:23am- police located the Cutlass- abandoned- on "Kensington between 54th Terrace and 55th Street."
There's a police and dog foot search of the area- but likely those 3 suspects are long gone....
