SALT LAKE CITY — Police asked for help Thursday to identify three men who they believe were involved with the theft of two 30-packs of beer from a 7-Eleven.
The robbery occurred at the 7-Eleven at 1353 W. Indiana Ave. on May 13, according to the Salt Lake City Police Department. Investigators said two men selected two 30-packs of beer and were confronted by a clerk when they tried to flee the store.
