Richland County authorities are asking for your help in identifying three suspects wanted for strong armed robbery.

According to Sheriff Leon Lott, the three suspects robbed the Exxon on Clemson Road.  The victim says one of the suspects shoved her out of the way as they stole money from the desk in the office.  Investigators say the suspects all left in a 2010-2011 silver 4-door vehicle, possibly a Nissan Maxima or Altima with Florida tags.

Sheriff Lott states the suspects (one female two males) attempted this technique, only moments earlier, at the Circle K (90 Clemson Road) but were unsuccessful. Sheriff Leon Lott stated that investigators are working with Lexington County Sheriff’s Department on these cases as this same crew has committed multiple robberies in Lexington County as well.

Sheriff Leon Lott asks that anyone with information on the identity of these suspects or information about this crime should call your anonymous tip to Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
