ORANGEBURG, S.C. — The Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office is looking for a suspect in connection with an armed robbery at an Orangeburg discount store.
“This individual entered this business and then pointing a handgun at the employees,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said. “If you have any information on this person, please give us a call so we can get him off the street.”

Employees said that around 9:30 p.m., a gunman showed up with a weapon wrapped in a blue bandanna. The cashier called for a manager after telling the gunman she couldn’t open the register. The second employee then managed to open the register and dumped it into a brown backpack the gunman was carrying.
The gunman then fled on foot.
