RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA
Orange County sheriff’s investigators are searching for two men who they say robbed an ice cream store at gunpoint Saturday night.
Authorities said two black-clad men wearing ski masks entered the Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor in the 22000 block of Antonio Parkway about 10:50 p.m. Saturday.
At least one of the men brandished a handgun and demanded money from employees working behind the counter, Sgt. Roger Neumeister said.
Sheriff’s officials didn’t disclose the amount of money taken, but “it was a lot of money to me,” store owner Carol Tjelmeland said.
The robbers were last seen running from the store, Neumeister said.
