On the Lookout: convenience store assault suspects

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Police are asking for help to identify two teen suspects, who they say assaulted a 7-11 store clerk.

The incident happened on January 17 at the convenience store off South Circle Drive, east of I-25.

Surveillance video shows the two walking into the store -- the first time, allegedly, to steal items. When the store clerk observed the two taking merchandise, they asked the teens to leave. The suspects -- thought to be between the ages of 16 and 18 -- did so, reluctantly.

They only later returned around 1:50 a.m. to beat up the employee.

The clerk had non, life-threatening injuries.

One of the suspects has several tattoos, including two light-colored crosses on either side of his cheeks. He also has a set of three clown or skull faces tattooed along his right neck.

According to police, the two are known to frequent the area near South Circle Drive and Janitell Road.
