DANVILLE — Police said they are asking for the public’s help finding suspects who injured an employee and took his phone during the weekend robbery of a hardware store, authorities said.
In a statement Monday evening, police said officers responded at 3:48 p.m. to Ace Hardware, 3438 Camino Tassajara, for a report of an argument.
Officers arrived to learn that while three men entered the store and took about $1,100 worth of tools before trying to leave in a tan Chevrolet Trailblazer sport-utility vehicle.
But when an employee tried to get their vehicle’s license plate in a parking lot, one of the three men assaulted the employee before robbing him of his cell phone and driving away. The employee suffered minor injuries, police said.
