On 07/13/2019, at approximately 4 P.M., suspect 1 walked into the victim business, at 200 Block E. Warner Avenue, in Santa Ana, and began speaking to the employees. Suspect 2 was waiting outside acting as a lookout. While in the business, suspect 1 showed two of the victims a firearm concealed under his t-shirt. Suspect 1 then ordered the victims towards the back of the business where a third victim was. At this point, suspect 1 demanded the money from the business. Fearing for the lives of the employees, the third victim gave the suspect $5,000.00.
