When security officer Donna Chaparro arrived at the store and attempted to detain the suspects, one of the two suspects punched the 44-year-old security officer in the back of her head and the other punched her in the face.
The impact of the punches knocked Chaparro to the ground. Both suspects fled from the store located at 9358 Telephone Rd.
Responding law enforcement officers canvassed the neighborhood but were unable to locate the suspects. Chaparro was transported to the Ventura County Medical Center where she was released after being treated for her injuries.

The second suspect is described as a black male weighing approximately 180 pounds and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. He is described to be in his 20s and was wearing a blue and red hat with a grey hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.
