Thieves hit 7 Orange County businesses in one night

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:44 GMT

Surveillance video shows thieves rummage through one of seven Irvine businesses that were broken into early this week, leaving owners and employees to clean up the mess.  Shattered front doors, glass strewn across the pavement is what workers found when they showed up to work Monday morning at the Sand Canyon Plaza Shopping Center near the corner of Sand Canyon Avenue and Irvine Center Drive.  A total of seven businesses had their front doors or windows smashed in by burglars who quickly ransacked each establishment, looking for things to steal. Surveillance footage from the Domino's Pizza shows the thieves barely spending any time in the store.  “I want to say like a good 30 seconds,” Domino’s employee Adonis Manrique said of how long the burglars were in the restaurant. “It was really fast, just came in and out because they couldn’t find anything. All we had was $1 bills and that’s all they took, like $30.”  Video from a ramen restaurant a few doors down shows ...
