ORCUTT, Calif. – Orcutt community members and business owners are concerned about an increase of crimes in the local area.

On Friday, Sept. 22, police arrested two men and one woman after a series of robberies and a short police chase.

The three people arrested robbed Domino's Pizza employees at gun point in Arroyo Grande and then a second Domino's in Orcutt.

Earlier this year, a shooting happened at Melody Mini Market in Orcutt.

People said they are concerned about the increase of population in the Santa Maria Valley, inevitably bringing more crime.
