The two women reportedly stole cash and were captured leaving the establishment with items in their hands and pockets.

The same post indicated that cops already made one arrest in connection with the incident. "One of the suspects has already been identified and arrested in connection with this incident," the police department noted.

The suspect was identified as Alize Endonejha Jenkins, 24, according to KOLD News 13.

Police are still searching for the suspect who assaulted the store employee. The attacker's identity currently remains unknown.

"The unidentified suspect is described as a black female, approximately 20-30 years old, 5'3"- 5'5" tall, wearing a pink 'WASHINGTON D.C.' cheetah printed hoodie, multicolored pants, with pink shoes and a black backpack," police added.

Earlier this month, an 80-year-old California liquor store was caught on camera firing his shotgun at a man who tried to rob his shop. Security footage showed the suspect retreating after getting shot in the arm and then running out of the store while screaming, "He shot my arm off! He shot my arm off!" The unidentified suspect and his companions then huddled into a car that had been waiting outside the store and fled. The suspects were later nabbed at a nearby hospital while getting medical attention for their injured companion.
