Images pulled from surveillance video of men believed to have stolen
safes containing thousands of dollars from a church and four other
locations were released by the Santa Ana Police Department Tuesday.
The most recent heist was May 1, when three burglars broke into Forty
Martyrs Armenian Church, 5315 W. McFadden Ave., around 4 a.m., and
stole a safe containing about $13,000, according to Santa Ana Police
Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, the department spokesman. Most of the money
was proceeds from a bingo game held hours earlier.
One burglar, wearing a Chicago White Sox cap, tried to break
a surveillance camera with a screwdriver, but he instead provided
police with a clear, close-up image of himself:
Santa Ana and Anaheim police are working together on the case because
the same trio is suspected of pulling other safe heists in both
cities dating back to January. Here is another look from the Forty
Martyrs job:
And another:
According to Bertagna, the three were seen in a newer model gray
four-door car. The burglar in the ball cap was described as white,
thin, clean-shaven and age 30-35 with short brown hair. Another is
believed to be age 40-45, bald with a mustache and a medium build. The
third amigo was possibly Latino, age 35-40, thin and having a goatee.
Anyone with information is asked to call Orange County Crime Stoppers
at 855.847.6227.
