SENECA — A convenience store robbery case is closed, Seneca police announced Wednesday.
Three Westminster men are jailed in connection with an early Saturday morning strong-arm robbery at Save More convenience store on Bypass 123. After one suspect, 33-year-old Sheldon Lachain Williams, was charged Monday with common law robbery, police announced the remaining two suspects.
Rasu Akeim Wright, 32, and Steven Robert Phillips, 21, have also been charged with common law robbery, said Seneca Major of Operations John Covington. The three are suspected of making off with $56 in cash.
Police released security camera images of the incident in which a man alleged to be Williams jumped over a store counter and struggled with a clerk for money. Two of the suspects were in the store during the robbery while another man drove them away in a vehicle waiting outside.
All three remained in Oconee County Detention Center Wednesday with $15,000 bonds. Williams and Wright have been jailed in Oconee County before. Each has a history of drug charges. Narcotics agents found Williams, who also had been charged with robbery in Oconee before, in the passenger seat of a car during an unrelated drug investigation.
