Since April 9th there have been eleven robberies of 7-Eleven stores in the city of Santa Ana, the last occurring on April 26th. From surveillance footage, it appears there are a total of four suspects involved in the series. Three suspects operate with one suspect approaching the clerk and simulating a weapon in his waistband. While this suspect is with the store clerk, the remaining suspect(s) standby as lookouts.

On 4/24/16 Miguel Baltazar Ledesma was arrested while loitering outside the 2112 S. Main Street Store. The clerk recognized him from a prior robbery and called 911. Police units responded and took Ledesma into custody. It is believed the store clerk prevented another robbery from occurring. Ledesma has been charged in connection with two incidents in the series, with video surveillance from both incidents corroborating his involvement.

Anyone with information is asked to please contact Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
