ST. GEORGE – Police are investigating an alleged assault and robbery that occurred in Bloomington Monday.

A woman in her 30s told police she was assaulted by two individuals around 4:45 p.m. while she was on the sidewalk along Pioneer Road near 4100 South. The suspects also stole some property from the woman before fleeing the scene, St. George Police Sgt. Johnny Heppler said.
