Several Los Angeles-area convenience stores have been targeted by a group of unruly teens in a series of flash mob robberies over the summer. The Los Angeles Police Department has reported that at least three parents have taken the responsible step of turning in their children to the authorities in connection with these crimes.
Surveillance footage shared by the police shows groups of young men arriving at the stores on bikes, forcibly entering the premises, and causing chaos once inside. The incidents have raised concerns among local residents about the potential escalation of such criminal behavior if left unchecked.
