Neil Mitchell said. "First, they know where the safe is located. They know to remove the safe or get into it so that they are usually successful. They don't often leave without any proceeds."The men were in and out of the store within 30 seconds.One of the men caught on surveillance video is about 5 feet tall and weighs nearly 250 pounds. He is balding and in his mid-30s to mid-40s.He also has brown or reddish hair on the sides of his head.Detectives said the man likely lives in the area around east Orange County.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
