About 50 juveniles ransack 7-Eleven in L.A., latest in string of robberies targeting the chain
LA TimesThe exterior of a 7-Eleven convenience store is seen on Aug. 20 in Los Angeles. A group of about 50 juveniles on bikes ransacked a 7-Eleven in Pico-Robertson on Friday evening, the latest in a string of recent robberies targeting the convenience chain, authorities said. The same store was targeted — also reportedly by a group of around 50 teens on bikes — on Aug. 9, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles. The San Pedro raid prompted L.A. City Councilmember Tim McOsker to call for increased LAPD staffing to help prevent similar robberies. “This isn’t just about property damage or items stolen — it is also about a victim, an employee, fearing for their safety, and a neighborhood that is both in fear and now without a convenience store on the corner,” McOsker said at the time.
