AIKEN -- Aiken authorities are seeking three people after a man reported being robbed at the Econo Lodge, 3560 Richland Avenue West.

According to a news bulletin from the Aiken Department of Public Safety, the robbery took place about 3:45 p.m.

The victim said he was in his motel room when he was approached by a white female and two black males. As the three entered the room, they closed the door behind them. One of the men put a handgun to the victim's head and he was robbed of cash, a cell phone, a .40-caliber Ruger pistol and several pairs of shoes.
