FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Police are investigating a robbery at a Save Mart grocery store in northeast Fresno.

It happened just after 3:30 am at First Street and Nees Avenues.

Officers say they were nearby when they got a call from employees about the robbery. They responded quickly, surprising the suspects.

Police say one suspect caught trying to run from the store is a teenager.

A second suspect was found by a K-9 hiding in some bushes near the store.

Officers are still searching for a third person that took off in a car.

Broken glass and a spilled container of prescription pills were seen lying by the front door.

Two employees tell Action News they heard banging. That's when the door was broken, and they ran from the store.

Five employees were in the store at the time of the break-in. None were hurt.
