MISSION VIEJO, CA - Orange County Sheriff’s investigators hope someone recognizes three brazen armed robbers who hit a Mission Viejo drug store in a takeover style robbery Wednesday night.
The trio wore hoodies but no masks to shield themselves from security cameras in the robbery at Cal-Med Pharmacy, 24031 Marguerite Parkway, said Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Stichter.
