Original story:

Sparks Police are searching for two people who robbed a Home Depot and attacked an elderly employee Wednesday evening.

Police say a man and a woman entered the Home Depot on Galleria Parkway around 7:30PM September 13, 2017. The man grabbed several items from the power tool aisle, and hid them under his clothing. As the couple tried to leave the store, they were confronted by a 70-year-old female employee. Police say the man forcefully pushed her to the ground.

The victim sustained a head injury after hitting it on the concrete floor. She also hurt her arm.

The couple was seen running from the store and driving off in a white Chrysler 300 with damage to the left front bumper and quarter panel.

The female in the surveillance photos appears to have dyed red hair and a scar that seemed to be a burn mark to her face, according to witnesses.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. If you know anything about this case, call the Sparks Police Department at (775) 353-2225 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.
