SANTA ANA – Authorities are asking for help identifying a man captured on surveillance video smashing the front windows of a 7-Eleven on South Bristol Street, causing about $2,000 in damages.

Released Tuesday, Sept. 5, the video shows the man entering the convenience store, at 1020 S. Bristol, at around 2:30 a.m. Aug. 25.

Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said the suspect attempted to open the door of a refrigerator with beer inside, but could not because those doors are locked after 2 a.m.

The man went to the front counter and demanded he be sold beer, Bertagna said.

When the clerks refused, the suspect knocked over displays on the counter, the video shows. A clerk wielding a stick then chased him out of the store.

A few moments later, the suspect smashed several of the store’s front windows and fled.

Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity is asked to call investigators at 714-245-8647.
