Two men entered Robert’s Citgo, located on at 1843 Wilson Road, Newberry, just after 2:30 a.m. and robbed the store at gunpoint, according to Sheriff Lee Foster.
One of the suspects was armed with a revolver-type handgun that he received from the second suspect, said Foster. The other suspect has a semi-automatic handgun, the sheriff said.
“The men stole cigarettes, cigars, lottery tickets and a small amount of money before fleeing the store,” said Foster.
Foster added that no vehicle description or direction of travel was known.
One of the suspects is described as a black male. He entered the store wearing black clothing and a black mask. He is described as being 5’ 8” to 5’10” tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He has a medium complexion and possibly is in his mid 20’s, witnesses said.
The second suspect, also a black male, entered the store wearing dark pants, a black nylon windbreaker with a red stripe on the sleeve, and with a red bandanna covering his face. He was carrying a black shoulder bag. This suspect is also described as ranging in height from 5’8” to 5’10” and weighing about 150 pounds. He had a darker complexion and his age is estimated at between 20-25 years.
Anyone with information about the armed robbery or the suspects is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 321-2222.
