Centralia police are investigating an early morning robbery in which an individual reported a purse and backpack were stolen after a threat with a knife.

Officers were called at 6:44 a.m. to the 1600 block of North Scheuber Road, according to the Centralia Police Department.

Officer John Panco said it happened on the street but wasn’t a random victim. Nobody was injured, he said.

“All the people involved know each other,” Panco said.

Panco didn’t have further details to release, except to say one victim was a female, and there may have been more than just two people involved overall.
