More from Other NewsAuthorities said two men attacked the attendant of a Ventura gas station early this morning and robbed the business's cash drawers.
The attendant at USA Gas, 2661 East Thompson Blvd., was leaving a public bathroom at the business about 3:45 a.m. when two young men attacked him, Ventura police said in a prepared statement.
One of the assailants hit him with a wooden broom handle, and both forced him back into the bathroom and took his keys, police said.
The robbers used the keys to get into a locked office, where they found cash drawers and made off with an undisclosed amount of money.
The attendant suffered minor injuries in the attack, but refused medical attention.
Ventura police encourage anyone with information about the crime to call 339-4394 or leave an anonymous tip at 385-TALK.
Anyone whose information leads to an arrest can receive a reward of up to $1,000.
