A clerk from the business reported that two men with their faces concealed by bandanas entered the business through the front door and proceeded to charge towards her as she worked behind the front counter of the business. Both individuals jumped over the counter and at the same time one of them attempted to punch the female clerk in the face.
The clerk was able to run from inside the business to escape the suspects. The suspects then stole an undisclosed amount of money and fled from the scene on foot. Lemoore officers set up a large perimeter of the area and ultimately located two individuals approximately about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the robbery. The suspects matched the descriptions given by the clerk.
The suspects were subsequently identified as being involved in the robbery and arrested on robbery and conspiracy charges. Eric Holmes, age 26, from Fresno and Dentron Lemar Eley, age 29, from Hanford, were booked into the Kings County Jail with bail set at $120,000.
The Lemoore Police Department has an ongoing investigation into this incident and asked that anyone with information about this robbery contact Officer McPherson with the Lemoore Police Department at (559) 924-9574 or (559) 924-5333.
