LAPD Investigates Flash Robberies at 7-Eleven Stores Involving Bicycle-Riding Suspects

Groups of Up to 40 Suspects Have Targeted 14 Los Angeles Convenience Stores

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force is investigating a series of flash robberies at 7-Eleven stores across the city. Since July 12, groups of 20 to 40 suspects have raided multiple locations, fleeing on bicycles after stealing merchandise and damaging property.

The robberies have primarily occurred on Friday evenings at stores in the Rampart, Hollywood, Wilshire, and West Los Angeles divisions. Thirteen out of the fourteen incidents occurred on Fridays, with stores in close proximity being hit in succession.

The locations and dates are as follows:

This includes 7-Eleven locations in Santa Monica, Koreatown, MacArthur Park. Pico Robertson, Hollywood, Rampart Village, the Fairfax District, and West Hollywood. Surveillance footage shows the suspects, described as young males, possibly teenagers, from diverse backgrounds. In several cases, witnesses were physically pushed during the robberies, though no injuries have been reported. Many witnesses expressed ongoing fears for their safety due to the aggressive nature of the crimes.

The LAPD has increased patrols around 7-Eleven stores to deter future incidents and continues to work with various divisions to identify the suspects. Anyone with information is urged to contact LAPD at 1-877-LAPD-24-7. Anonymous tips can be submitted to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or through their website, www.lacrimestoppers.org. Video or photo evidence can also be sent to ORC@lapd.online.

The investigation remains ongoing.
