COLUMBIA (WACH) - Richland County deputies are working to identify two suspects wanted for armed robbery.

Authorities with the Richland County Sheriff's Department say deputies responded to an armed robbery call around 11 p.m. Friday, June 15 at Sumo Restaurant on Clemson Road.

According to Sheriff Leon Lott, two male suspects entered the restaurant pointing guns. They demanded the victims get on the floor before stealing money, cell phones and wallets. After robbing the victims, the suspects fled the scene.

Surveillance video images were released by the department on the afternoon of Friday, June 23. The department hopes the community can help them identify the suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
