Two armed robberies and a home burglary happened in Santa Ana today

It was a hot and muggy day today in Santa Ana – and the criminals were more active than usual.  A man robbed another man at gunpoint this morning at the Chevron located at 3301 South Bristol St., which is just west of Saddleback High School, and another robber robbed a 7-Eleven store at 1700 East Dyer, after brandishing a knife, according to the O.C.

The robber at the Chevron gas station made off with an unknown amount of cash but he was eventually arrested.  The robber at the 7-Eleven got away with an unknown amount of money.
