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.
