Boutique Hotel in Laguna Hills Robbed

A detailed description of the suspects was not immediately available.

Police sought two men Wednesday morning suspected of robbing a hotel in Laguna Hills.

Deputies responded about 10 p.m. Tuesday to The Hills Hotel in the 25200 block of La Paz Road, just off the San Diego (5) Freeway and learned two men in black windbreakers and dark-colored jeans walked into the hotel's lobby and one of the men, armed with a gun, demanded money, according to Lt. W. Rehnalt of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

The receptionist told a news photographer at the scene the thieves got away with an unknown amount of cash.

Deputies searched the area around the hotel but were unable to locate the suspects, Rehnalt said.

Detectives watched security video from the hotel in an attempt to identify the suspects, Rehnalt said.

A detailed description of the suspects was not immediately available.
