Store Manager Hurt by Robbers
Two armed robbers stormed into a grocery store Sunday and pistol-whipped the business’ manager before fleeing with $20,000, investigators said.
The two men, both wearing baseball caps, entered Big Saver food store in the 400 block of West 17th Street and forced the supermarket’s manager to open a safe at gunpoint, Police Sgt. Dick Faust said.
After taking money from the safe, one of the assailants struck the manager on the head with his gun and ran out of the store, Faust said.
The manager, whose name was not released, was taken to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana with minor head injuries.
