Five robbery suspects, two adult males and three juvenile males, are in custody for what authorities in Orange County called a “beer run and pursuit” Tuesday afternoon.
Officers with the Seal Beach Police Department responded to reports of a “theft incident” at Bay Liquor, located at 1780 Pacific Coast Highway, just after 2 p.m.
Police learned that five male suspects ran off with two cases of beer and fled the area in a silver Honda Odyssey minivan.
After an immediate search of the area, authorities were unable to locate the suspects.
An hour later, at 3:15 p.m., officers responded to reports of an armed robbery near the intersection of 6 th Street and Central Avenue, barely a mile from the liquor store.
