On Sunday, a string of incidents began in Irvine, where a man entered the Chevron gas station at 5425 Alton Parkway at about 7:40 p.m. and approached the cashier with an item. Instead of paying, the man brandished a gun and demanded money from the clerk. He fled with about $100 in cash, officials said.
