FRESNO, Calif. (KERO) — Detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office seek help identifying two men and a woman suspected in a Jan. 13th assault and robbery in the Sanger area.

Authorities said the incident occurred at about 5:30 a.m. at the Circle C Market at 16246 E. Kings Canyon Road in Centerville, near Sanger. The incident was caught on video surveillance cameras.

The Sheriff’s Office said a man and woman, who was holding a handgun, entered the store and forced an employee behind the counter. The man ordered the clerk to get down and then struck her on the head knocking her to the ground, said the Sheriff’s Office.

Suspect No. 2: A Hispanic woman, 30-40 years old, 5-foo-7-inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds with dark hair. She wore a bright yellowish, green gaiter-style face mask and had a black semi-automatic handgun.

Suspect No. 3: A Hispanic man, 35-45 years old, about 6-feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds with dark hair.
