A store employee in Victoria is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries after a daytime assault and robbery last week.
The suspect entered the Mayfair Mall shop around 4:50 p.m. on Jan. 13, picked up two large sets of Lego and moved towards the exit when the employee approached him and directed him to a cashier.
He assaulted the staff member and fled, Victoria police said in a Monday news release.
The suspect was last seen crossing the 700 block of Finlayson Street and police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them.

He had “distinctive lines or marks on his face,” said police, and witnesses at the scene described him as walking while hunched over.
