RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) - Richland County sheriffs deputies are looking for three men wanted for armed robbery in three separate incidents.

On Tuesday night, Sheriff Leon Lott says at about 10:15 Tuesday night, two men entered the Shell gas station on Monticello Road.  One of the men carried a gun. They stole some cash.

The victim told investigators one of the suspects had an arm that was physically disabled in a fixed position. 

Less than two hours later, deputies say the same men entered a Mobile gas station located at Two Notch Road, presented the handgun and demanded money from the clerk.

The suspects drove away in a gray small four-door vehicle.

And at about 6:30 pm Wednesday, deputies were called to the Farrow Road area for a report of an armed robbery. The victim told deputies while she and a friend were sitting in the car man approached them with shotgun and ordered them out of the car.

The women told investigators the man took her purse which contained $200.00, debit card, identification, and cell phone then fled the area. She got back into her friend's car where he drove to a gas station on Two Notch Road where she called 9-1-1.  

Sheriff Lot says a video surveillance camera inside a Broad River Road gas station may have captured a person connected with the crime.

If you have any information that can help investigators in any of these crimes, call Crimestoppers at 1-888-Crime-SC.
