Louisville Metro Police are actively searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a robbery that occurred Monday afternoon in the Pleasure Ridge Park neighborhood. The incident began just before 1:30 p.m. when officers responded to a reported robbery at the intersection of Dixie Highway and Upper Hunters Trace. Upon arrival, law enforcement encountered the suspect, who subsequently evaded capture. Police have launched a comprehensive search of the surrounding area to locate the individual. The suspect is described as a white male, bald, with facial tattoos. At the time of the incident, he was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts. Authorities have issued a strong warning to the public, advising residents not to approach the suspect under any circumstances. Due to the active search and the nature of the crime, multiple schools in the immediate vicinity were placed on heightened alert as a precautionary measure. However, in an update released at 3:28 p.m., the Louisville Metro Police Department confirmed that those schools could return to normal operations. Despite the resumption of school activities, LMPD stated they will maintain a smaller police presence in the area while officers continue their efforts to locate the suspect. Residents can expect to see law enforcement personnel throughout the neighborhood for the foreseeable future as the investigation remains active. No photograph of the suspect was immediately available for public release. Investigators are urging anyone with information regarding the suspect's whereabouts or identity to come forward. The public is asked to call LMPD's anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD (5673). Tips can also be submitted anonymously through the LMPD's online tip portal. This story is developing and may be updated as more information becomes available.
