The photo above shows a woman suspected of robbing the Advance America store in Clemson at gunpoint last week. Police ask anyone with information on the woman’s identity to call (864) 624-2000.

One photo shows the suspect entering the business prior to committing the robbery wearing facial makeup to appear like a man. The other photo was taken during the robbery, officials said.

The chief said it is not known whether the suspect left the scene on foot or in a vehicle.

No one was injured during the incident, and no shots were fired.

Clemson police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to call (864) 624-2000. Callers may remain anonymous.
