93 Quick Stop Robbed

On September 10, 2013 at approximately 6:58pm two black males entered the 93 Quick Stop on Liberty Drive in Easley, and robbed the lone female employee at gunpoint, according to Maj. Tim Tollison with the Easley Police Department.

One of the black male suspects did fire one round from a handgun towards the clerk, but the bullet did not hit the clerk, he said.

Witnesses outside behind the store said that the two black males exited the store and ran around back and got into a grey/silver in color Ford Taurus driven by a white female.

The suspects got away with an unknown amount of cash and merchandise at this time.

Tollison said a short time later, officers from the Easley Police Department and the Pickens County Sheriff’s office found a vehicle with three people inside matching the description of both the car and the suspects on Adger Road.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle and the vehicle fled from officers. While the officers were attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver tried to make an abrupt turn off of SC Hwy 178 onto Ruhamah road, striking a power pole and disabling the vehicle. Officers were able to take all three suspects into custody. All three suspects were transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital by EMS.

The driver was identified as: Rosa Lupita Martinez, age 23.

Two black male suspects identification is unknown at this time, Tollison said.

Charges are pending, he said.
