Mobil Clerk Battered in Valrico, Armed Robbers Sought

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in identifying the two men who battered a Mobil convenience store clerk in Valrico on Sept. 5.

According to the sheriff's report, the clerk, Jun Teddy Wu, 28, suffered a laceration on the side of his head, which was treated at the scene. The injury was sustained after two men brandished guns at the store after confronting Wu at the kiosk outside the Mobil gas station and convenience store at 2510 East State Road 60 in Valrico.
