COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Columbia police say a suspect involved in an armed robbery and kidnapping last week has struck again.

Investigators say 42-year-old Donald Allen Kelly broke into a home on Kathwood Drive, showed a knife and demanded money.  They say Kelly took an undisclosed amount of money and got away in an unknown vehicle.

Officers are also working with officials in Forest Acres who are looking for Kelly for a similar incident.

The Forest Acres Police Department says Kelly knocked on the door of a home off Forest Drive around 8 p.m. last Tuesday asking for help.

Investigators say the person who answered door went with Kelly in his truck.  Kelly pulled a knife on the victim and demanded to go to the ATM where money could be withdrawn.

The victim was able to get away.

Kelly is described as a white male standing around 6'2", weighing 175 pounds.

If you know where Kelly is you're urged to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
