    AIKEN, S.C. (WJBF) – The Aiken Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s help in
    identifying two suspects involved in an attempted armed robbery that occurred early Sunday.

    According to authorities, at approximately 7:05 a.m., officers responded to a call regarding an attempted armed robbery at 702 Silver Bluff Road (Circle K).

    Upon arrival, they learned that a male and female suspect entered the store and threatened the clerk with a knife, forcing her into the back of the store. The clerk managed to lock herself in an office and call 911, prompting the suspects to flee the scene.
