VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Police need the public’s help in identifying a couple of beer bandits who assaulted a security guard, officials said.

It happened on July 30, 2019, at the Stater Brothers Market in the 13700 block of Bear Valley Road in Victorville.

Sheriff’s officials said the unidentified couple entered the business and placed several cases of beer into a shopping cart. The male pushed the cart as the female carried another case of beer.
