Columbia Police investigators are looking for a person of interest in connection with an armed robbery and car theft investigation from earlier this week.
Investigators believe the man in the surveillance pictures has material information regarding the crime that happened at Planet Fitness located at 7531 Garners Ferry Road on June 19, 2017.
The 69-year-old female victim tells officers that as she was preparing to leave in her car, an armed man approached her and demanded her vehicle, a Ford Escape which also contained her purse. The victim was not injured during the incident.
The stolen car has since been recovered. Citizens with information about the crime or person of interest are encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
