Police are circulating a surveillance photo of a suspected beer thief in hopes of finding the two suspects who allegedly assaulted a store clerk during the heist Sunday night.
About 7:30 p.m. May 22, two men walked into Safeway, 235 Tennant Station, and stole multiple cases of beer, according to Morgan Hill Police.
As the two suspects exited the store, they were confronted by a Safeway employee, police said. They dropped the beer and punched the clerk in the head and face several times.
The suspects eventually fled the scene in a white PT Cruiser, according to police.
Detectives were able to get a photo of one of the suspects from inside the store just before the crime occurred. Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about this crime can contact MHPD Det. Fernando Del Moral at (669) 253-4964.
