Two young men sought in robbery of north Modesto store

Modesto police detectives are working to identify two minors or adults who robbed the General Store in the Frontier Town shopping center at the northwest corner of Tully Road and Standiford Avenue.

About 10:45 p.m. Aug. 25, the armed pair approached a clerk outside of store, at 3543 Tully Road, and tried to force him inside. The employee fled, and the suspects entered the store and took multiple items from behind the register, police said.
