A Liberal couple has been indicted in federal court in Topeka for a string of business robberies during September, including the Subway restaurant in Hutchinson.

Lekeith Markez Mosley, 29, and Shelbi Paige Ricks, 25, both of Liberal, are charged with three counts of robbery.

The indictment alleges the pair robbed the Subway at 711 N. Main St. first, on Sept. 6, and then the Family Dollar at 303 E. Kansas Ave. in Greensburg the next day.

The third robbery was at the Jimmy Johns restaurant, 1025 Southwest Wanamaker Road in Topeka on Sept. 27.

During the robberies in Hutchinson and Greensburg both wore cloth masks similar to masks worn to protect against COVID-19 and the man brandished a handgun, Hutchinson police previously reported.

Witnesses reported seeing them leaving the scene of the Dollar General robbery in a newer model white Dodge Ram pickup that was missing its gas tank door.

If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on each count. The FBI investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag is prosecuting.
