ORIGINAL STORY: Santa Maria police are investigating reports of an armed robbery in Santa Maria Friday morning.

Police say the call came in at 9:41 a.m.

As of 10:39 a.m., police were in the parking lot of KFC on the 2200 block of S. Broadway.

Officers were looking over a truck and one person could be seen in the back of a police car, but it was unclear what, if any, connection they had to the reported robbery.
