(Aiken County, SC) – A pair of ski-masked and pistol-waving bandits are being sought by police in two states after overnight armed robberies in Aiken County, SC.
The holdups started shortly after 1 a.m. ET today, Wed., Nov. 22, 2017 when a holdup was reported in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter at 1201 Knox Ave. in North Augusta, SC.
That was followed 40 minutes later with a robbery report from Circle K #2751 at 1925 Edgefield Hwy off Interstate-20 near Aiken, SC.
The description was similar in both of the holdups. The suspects are apparently targeting customers in parking lots.
Police are seeking two black males armed with pistols in a small dark vehicle who were wearing ski-masks.
The suspects are wearing baggy clothing including a dark blue or black hoodie.
Police say the suspects may have been wearing black neoprene gloves.
Police broadcast the name of one potential suspect but were not yet sure of his involvement. S.E. Social Justice Breaking News is withholding the name while police conduct their probe.
While the look of the gloves vary here is one example of the black neoprene gloves:
