Richland County (WLTX) - Richland County deputies are searching for two suspects who they say robbed a 69-year-old woman at her home.

Deputies say the incident took place at the Wellspring Apartments on Harbison Boulevard September 18 at 11:30 p.m.

Officers say the woman had just returned home from church when she was approached by two men.

Deputies say the woman tried to walk around the suspects, who were standing in the way of the entrance to her home, but as she did, the men pulled a gun and demanded money from her purse.

The woman told the suspects she didn't have any money, but they found out that she had an ATM card. The woman was then forced by the suspects to drive to an ATM at 291 Harbision Boulevard and 420 Bush River Road.

Once she complied with their demands, she was forced to drive to the Crossroads Apartments on Zimalcrest Drive, where a car that followed them took the suspects away.

Pictures of the car at the ATM, and a sketch of the suspects, are attached to this story.

Anyone who may have seen any part of this crime at any of these locations is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Thank you so much for this posting. It is truly a shame the way Columbia has gone down because of these ghetto people and Meth addicts!
