Lexington, SC (Paul Kirby) – Chief Terrence Green of the Lexington Police Department turned to the community for assistance in identifying a white male who was involved in the armed robbery Monday evening. The man is believed to have robbed the Sunoco gas station on the evening of Monday, July 29, 2019.

At about 7:40 p.m., Lexington police officers responded to the Sunoco at 5019 Augusta Road in Lexington for an armed robbery that had just occurred. When they arrived, they spoke to an employee who said a white male had entered the store, reached over the counter, and began to take money from the cash drawer.
