Sheriff’s Office seeks information after armed robbery in Whittier

By Lynn Hotaling

Jackson County Sheriff’s Office’s CrimeStoppers team is seeking information regarding a robbery that occurred at the Whittier Post Office around noon on Sunday, June 13.

A 75-year-old woman was approached by a male suspect in the post office parking lot, according to Capt. Steve Lillard. The suspect produced a handgun and demanded the woman’s money and cell phone, Lillard said.

The man fled the scene in what appeared to be a silver-colored Chrysler PT Cruiser, which was driven by a white female with blond hair. The male suspect is described as a white male, 5’7” to 5’9” in height with blond hair.  He was wearing shorts and a white T-shirt with some type of logo on the front of it, Lillard said.

A reward is being offered for information leading to the identity and apprehension of these two suspects.

Anyone having information is encouraged to contact CrimeStoppers at 631-1125 or the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at 586-8901.
