SANTA ANA – Police have arrested a 40-year-old man who they suspect committed a series of armed robberies at gas stations and liquor stores.
….The robber in each case held up the businesses by entering the store, approaching the clerk and demanding money using a firearm or a hunting-style knife, Gonzalez said. He would then flee on a mountain bike and head toward the Santa Ana River trail, he said.
