Three employees of a Butler County convenience store have been attacked and robbed, with one employee beaten until he was unconscious.
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office responded to the assault and robbery at approximately 9:45 Sunday night in the 4000 block of Caneyville Road (Hwy 79), according to a report by the Beech Tree News.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found that a male and two female employees of Don Lindsey’s Grocery, at 5740 Caneyville Road, had finished their shifts. The three were driving together toward Morgantown when they had a flat tire near the intersection of Corbie Deweese Road, approximately one-and-a-half miles from the convenience store.
While changing the tire, the three victims were “viciously attacked by a masked man wielding a crowbar,” the Beech Tree News reports. The male employee was assaulted until he was unconscious. The two females were also assaulted.
The suspect then fled on foot with the store’s money bag. It’s unclear how much money was stolen.
All three victims were transported to The Medical Center at Bowling Green.
