The Selma Police Department is asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect involved in an armed robbery earlier this month in which a rifle was brandished and cash was taken, according to authorities on Tuesday.

Officers were dispatched at approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday to the intersection of Sheridan and Valley View streets following a report of a robbery that had just occurred, police said. Investigators determined a suspect and a vehicle were involved in the incident.

According to police, the suspect brandished a rifle during the robbery and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the victim.

The suspect then fled the scene on foot before entering a vehicle driven by an additional unidentified individual believed to be acting as the getaway driver.

Both suspects left the area before officers arrived.

The investigation remains ongoing, according to the department.

Police released images of the suspect and vehicle and are encouraging anyone with information to contact the Selma Police Department Investigations Unit or Detective C. Cano at (559) 891-2246 or christianC@cityofselma.com.
