Woman Robbed in Publix Restroom

An Easley woman was the victim of what police are calling a strong armed robbery while she was in the women's restroom at Publix supermarket in Easley on Sunday.

Police are seeking three women who reportedly robbed another woman while she was in the restroom, taking cell phones and debit cards, police said.

The victim was dropped off by a friend at Publix on Calhoun Memorial Highway to meet another friend when she needed to use the restroom, police reports said.

When she entered the restroom, the victim told police she was "jumped" by three other females. The victim told police she could only identify one of her attackers by first and last name.

The robbers proceeded to take two cell phones and two debit cards from the victim before a store employee heard the commotion in the bathroom.

The employee told police he heard "punching sounds and cursing" coming from inside the restroom. The employee went to tell the store manager and when he returned noted three women leaving the restroom.

Police are investigating the incident and reviewing store security cameras to identify suspects. No arrests have been made.
