Two masked men carried out an armed robbery at South Coast Plaza late Friday night, police said.
Employees were held at gunpoint by at least two men who entered Zara, a clothing store, after closing at about 10:15 p.m., Costa Mesa police Sgt. Matt Selinsky said.
The robbers took money from registers and a safe, Selinsky said, as well as personal items from the employees.
The men were gone within minutes, Selinsky said, with surveillance video catching them driving off in a sedan.
Police have not released a detailed description of the getaway vehicle or the robbers, who were reportedly wearing dark clothing.
No injuries were reported.
The hold-up comes several weeks after a smash and grab robbery was carried out at a Rolex store located in the same portion of the mall.
During business hours on Jan. 15, five men smashed display cases at the Rolex store, quickly fleeing with merchandise. A stolen getaway vehicle was quickly located by officers.
On Wednesday night, a thief dashed out of an Apple store in South Coast Plaza with at least 10 iPhones, police said.
The man, who may be in his 20s, walked into the store shortly before 7:20 p.m. and took 10 to 15 iPhone 6 models that were on display, said Sgt. Doug Johnson of the Costa Mesa Police Department.
The phones had security devices on them, which activated an alarm when the suspect ran out the store. He ran out the mall and into a waiting blue sedan, Johnson said.The loss was estimated at $5,000.
There is no immediate indication that the three robberies are related.
