The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office says the robbery took place at Dunham’s on West Main Street in Oshtemo Township.

Deputies say a man and a woman were looking at items in the store’s hunting section when the man put his hand in his jacket and forced an employee into a bathroom. The man then pulled a gun out of his jacket, took the employee’s keys and told them to stay put.
