Although the clerk provided the armed man with the money, the suspect became violent and struck the clerk on the top of his head with the gun

An adult bookstore was held up Tuesday morning in Garden Grove and police are looking for the two men involved, one of whom struck the store's clerk with a handgun.

The robbery was reported at 12:50 a.m. at Garden of Eden Adult Bookstore at 12061 Garden Grove Blvd., said Garden Grove police Sgt. Juan Centeno.

One suspect walked in and inquired about a product in a display case while another suspect, armed with a handgun, went behind the counter and demanded money from the clerk.

Although the clerk provided the armed man with the money, the suspect became violent and struck the clerk on the top of his head with the gun, Centeno said. It wasn't immediately clear if the clerk was taken to a hospital for his injuries.

The suspects fled the store through the south door.

The armed suspect was Hispanic, 40 years old, with a shaved head and was last seen wearing a white and gray checkered shirt. The other suspect was Hispanic, 40 years old, 5-feet-11-inches, with a mustache and was seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
