SACRAMENTO, CA - Two armed robbers remain at large after searches were conducted for everyone leaving the California State Fair late Wednesday night after crooks allegedly dressed as fair food service workers stole nearly $100,000 from the office of the fair's catering company, according to reports.

The men stole the money during an armed assault at approximately 10 p.m. in the offices of Cal Expo caterer Ovation Food Services within the fair grandstand area, fair media center director Corey Egel said.

According to reports, the theft targeted a vendor wrapping up business for the night. Witnesses said the pair were wearing black uniforms similar to those worn by fair staff working for Ovation.



Egel said Thursday the fair would not be confirming the amount of money taken.



Fairgoer Richard Estrella was able to leave through the east gate of the fairgrounds with his wife and two children.



"It took forever to get out on the shuttle and we knew that there was a police officer that had his firearm drawn and so we knew there was some kind of concern, but they let the shuttle out," he said.



Estrella said people remained calm as they were leaving. "There were sheriffs everywhere, who were not letting anybody out of any of the gates without searching everything," Estrella said.

All cars going out of Gate 12 on the east end of Cal Expo were stopped and being searched by California Exposition police and Sacramento police personnel.

"One particular gentleman tried to walk by and a woman sheriff held on to him and another sheriff jumped all over him and so nobody's getting out without being checked," Estrella said.

Others leaving the fair said they were unaware anything was even wrong.
