The LAPD released the photos of dozens of people, mostly minors, responsible for a series of"flash mob" robberies at several 7-Eleven across LA County.“They're very brazen. They are not worried about being stopped or they're not worried about being seen,” said LAPD Detective Supervisor Samuel Arnold. “They're not even just shoplifting.
The robberies began July 12th and each involved 20-40 teens on bicycles rushing into a store, stealing items and escaping before police arrived.“The look on the faces of some of these juveniles. It's like they're having a good time. They're enjoying it,” Arnold said. “And that is what we need to let them understand. There's no way, shape or form that this behavior is going to be condoned or allowed.
“It needs to stop. If you're participating in these meet-ups on the bikes, we're going to be looking to identify you,” Arnold explained. “We will be coming either to your house, will be coming to your school, and you got to stop because it's not going to be a freebie.”The LAPD plans to step up patrols at 7-Eleven stores on Fridays beginning this week.
