Police are investigating a report of an armed robbery late Wednesday night on Olive Street in Cape Girardeau. Two people told police they were walking on Olive Street near Slinger's Nightclub, 820 N. Sprigg St., about 11:55 p.m. Wednesday when a man came up behind them, holding a gun, and demanded money, a Cape Girardeau police spokesman said in an email Thursday.
