HUDSON, Wis. (WCCO) -- Police are looking to identify two men in connection to a robbery and assault in Hudson, Wis. Friday morning.
According to police, at around 9:20 a.m., two men entered the Spirit Seller liquor store, which is located in downtown Hudson. A female employee later observed the men taking bottles of liquor and concealing them in their clothing.
When the employee asked the men to return the liquor and leave the store, both men left the store, but did not return any bottles. She then dialed 911 on her phone and followed the men outside.
