With metro crimes becoming momentarily quiet, convenience store robberies are now rampant. Last night, seven 7-Eleven stores in Los Angeles and Orange County fell victim to a series of robberies. Including Circle K and Shell gas stations, a total of nine establishments were robbed overnight.
According to the footage, around 1:45 AM today, four male suspects stormed into a 7-Eleven store in Bellflower, looting items and jumping over the counter to steal cash. Half an hour earlier, four male suspects wearing ski masks entered a 7-Eleven on South Figueroa in Gardena and stole cash from the register. The suspects appeared to be armed and fled in an orange Kia car after committing the crime.
At 2:15 AM today, another 7-Eleven on Gardena Boulevard in Gardena was victimized by a group of four male robbers who fled in an SUV. It is unclear whether the suspects were actually armed during the robberies.
The robberies took place from 9:15 PM last night to 2:15 AM today, targeting seven 7-Eleven stores in Fullerton, Anaheim, Gardena, Bellflower, and LA, as well as Shell and Circle K locations in Orange County, totaling nine establishments. It is unclear whether these nine robberies were committed by the same culprits, but they have certainly made a mockery of the police and prosecution.
The increase in various violent crimes due to District Attorney George Gascon’s soft-on-crime policy is becoming more severe, and with the recent rise in prices and local economic downturn, robberies are becoming more rampant. However, it seems we will have to endure the poison of the California prosecution until November.
