In this paper we will show the following result: Let $\mathcal{N} $ be a complete (noncompact) connected orientable Riemannian three-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature $S \geq 0$ and bounded sectional curvature $ K_{s} \leq K $. Suposse that $\Sigma \subset \mathcal{N} $ is a complete orientable connected area-minimizing cylinder so that $\pi_1 (\Sigma) \in \pi_1 (\mathcal{N})$. Then $\mathcal{N}$ is locally isometric either to $\mathbb{S} ^1 \times \mathbb{R} ^2 $ or $\mathbb{S}^1 \times \mathbb{S}^1 \times \mathbb{R}$ (with the standard product metric). As a corollary, we will obtain: Let $\mathcal{N} $ be a complete (noncompact) connected orientable Riemannian three-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature $S \geq 0$ and bounded sectional curvature $ K_{s} \leq K $. Assume that $\pi_1 (\mathcal{N})$ contains a subgroup which is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact surface of positive genus. Then, $\mathcal{N}$ is locally isometric to $\mathbb{S}^1 \times \mathbb{S}^1 \times \mathbb{R}$ (with the standard product metric).
