INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An Indianapolis woman on Wednesday was arrested for her role in a robbery and beating of an employee at a party store on the south side in October.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a Facebook post the robbery happened on Oct. 10 at the Party City store located at 8703 Hardegan Street. That is near the intersection of County Line Road and North Madison Avenue.
