Pregnant woman attacked in Clovis, kicked in stomach and robbed. What police know

A pregnant woman was robbed and kicked in her belly on Friday, according to Clovis police.

The woman was at a Shell gas station on Willow and Nees avenues at about 10 a.m. when a man approached her, according to police spokesperson Ty Wood.
