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.

The female suspect exited the store with the other pack of beer.
“Before the male suspect left the location, he brandished a weapon at the employee and demanded the employee not follow him,” stated Reynolds.
