Police are on the lookout for a man and woman who allegedly clipped a local liquor store clerk with their car Thursday after stealing four bottles of liquor from the store.

The man and the woman had a child with them on Nov. 1, when they entered Wine Press Liquors, at the corner of El Camino Real and Rengstorff Avenue, and concealed a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of scotch and two bottles of vodka before walking out of the store, according to Sgt. Sean Thompson, public information officer for the Mountain View Police Department.

The trio then got into a car and were getting ready to drive away when the liquor store clerk, who saw what they were up to, stepped in front of the car and told them to stop, Thompson said. The two alleged booze thieves did not stop, but instead drove forward, grazing the 42-year-old clerk's leg as he tried to avoid being hit head-on.

Both the man and the woman were described as Asian, Thompson said. The clerk described the man as being under six feet tall, of medium build and wearing a light-colored shirt, dark pants and a light baseball cap. The woman was also less than six feet tall, and wore dark pants and dark shoes. There was no description of the woman's shirt or of the child.

The two could face charges of shoplifting and assault with a deadly weapon, Thompson said.
