The Victoria Police Department is looking for information in regards to an armed robbery which took place in the 100-block of Gorge Road E. Saturday night.
Officers were called to the retail business just after 9 p.m. after receiving a report that two men had robbed the store. The caller said one of the men had a handgun. The suspects fled the store before police arrived.
No one was injured in the robbery, however, a VicPD officer and two other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a two-vehicle collision which happened when the officer was responding to a report related to the robbery. All three people were taken to hospital, assessed and released with the officer still off duty.
