WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — Police are seeking two women and a man suspected of robbing a liquor store Thursday night, resulting in an injury to a store employee.

Police were called to the Elm Street Package Store at 584 Elm St. around 8:36 p.m. A pair of heavy-set black women and a thin black man appeared to be shopping in the store, taking liquor bottles off the shelves, when they suddenly bolted out the door into a blue Toyota or Honda 4-door vehicle, with the man driving, police said.

An employee ran after the car yanked on the door with enough force that the door bent backward. The man held onto the door but fell away as the car sped off; he sustained minor injuries, police said.
