Sheriff's deputies are looking for three teenagers who tried to rob an auto repair shop and then stabbed an employee.
The incident happened just before 11 p.m. Wednesday night at GMC General Auto Repair in Lost Hills. An employee, identified as Mario Soto, said he was working inside the business when he noticed three male juveniles outside in the parking lot.
He said two of them tried to steal a car dolly so he grabbed a gun and went to confront the kids. When he tried to detain them he said he was stabbed in the neck. Soto said he then fired three shots but did not hit the teens.
The suspects got away leaving the car dolly behind. Soto is recovering at Kern Medical Center.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff's Department at 661-861-3110 or the Secret Witness Hotline at 661-322-4040.
So no race was reported, which means they are either Black or Hispanic.
He noticed three male juveniles, huh?
Anyone with any information should call the sheriff’s office, huh?
Well yeah, with the bountiful descriptive information provided I’m recommend the sheriff round up all the local Amish kids and put them in a lineup.
They might be at my house. I'll check when I get home.
“...he grabbed a gun and went to confront the kids. When he tried to detain them he said he was stabbed in the neck.”
Uh, what was the purpose of grabbing a gun if he had no intention of using it?
Would appear that he realized he had brought a gun to a knife fight and thus the official “knife-fighting” rules prevented him from using it. /s
What an idiot.
The names of the two named perps are probably indicative here.
I'm waiting for the Double Secret Witness Hotline. Then I'll call.
