Lemoore police seek additional suspects in assault case

On Sunday, September 6, at approximately 3:30 a.m., the Lemoore Police Department responded to East Hanford-Armona Rd. regarding a male who had just been attacked by three unknown Hispanic males.

When officers arrived on the scene they located a 30-year-old male victim with an injury to his face. The man told police officers he had been asleep in his vehicle when the three men began attacking him. One of the suspect's began punching him in the face while another hit him with a blunt object.

The suspects demanded that the victim give them his personal property which he did. The suspects then fled the scene in a newer model black SUV. The suspects were described as being 18 to 21 years old. One suspect was wearing a black shirt, one suspect was wearing a red hat, and one suspect was wearing a black shirt with some kind of design on the front of the shirt.

The following day, Monday, September 7, at approximately 3:45 a.m. the police received a call again from East Hanford Armona Rd. in Lemoore. The reporting party advised he was arriving home when he was confronted by two male adults. One of the males approached the reporting party while a second man walked towards him.  The man figured something bad was going to happen so he took off running.
