HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A clerk working inside a convince store was assaulted with a pack of beer and threatened with a gun by a couple of suspects, officials said.

On Wednesday, April 15, 2020 at approximately 2:55 a.m., deputies responded to Fast Strip, 16117 Main Street, in reference to a weapon brandishing call.

Hesperia Sheriff’s Station Spokeswoman Taylor Reynolds said two unknown suspects, a male and a female, entered the location and selected two cases of beer.
