A Santee liquor store was robbed last Friday, and the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office is seeking the man who robbed it.

The individual approached the counter as if he were making a purchase, but proceeded to pull out a weapon and demand money according to Sheriff Leroy Ravenell.

The robbery, which took place at the Citgo Food Mart in Santee around 6:30, was committed by a white male. The subject stood about 6 feet tall and wore a hoodie.

After taking an amount of money, the man walked toward the Red Roof Inn that was nearby.

Anyone with information on the gunman is asked to call the sheriff's office at 803-534-3550, or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
