Police seeking two suspects involved in the armed robbery of a Santa Ana liquor store in June released a video of the incident on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

A car driven by a female whose age is unknown pulled into the parking lot of Nady’s Liquor, 652 S. Harbor Boulevard, at about 10:40 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, Santa Ana Police said in a news release. A male, age unknown, exited the vehicle, walked into the store with a black substance smeared onto his face and threatened the clerk with what appeared to be a handgun equipped with an extended magazine.

The employee gave the thief cash from the store’s register and he returned to the getaway vehicle, police said. It was last seen traveling west on McFadden Avenue, and described as a black 2015-2017 model Dodge Charger with tinted windows and 5-spoke rims in the SAPD’s release.
