Three suspects—two men and a woman—have been arrested for a series of overnight convenience store robberies across Los Angeles and Orange counties. Authorities have confirmed that two more suspects are still at large.
Several of these robberies were captured on surveillance cameras. One incident occurred at a 7-Eleven in Bellflower around 1:45 a.m. on Monday. Four masked suspects entered the store on Artesia Boulevard, with three of them jumping the counter to steal cash and items before fleeing in an orange SUV.
An hour earlier, another 7-Eleven on South Figueroa Street in Gardena was hit by four suspects wearing ski masks, who then escaped in an orange Kia.
On Sunday evening, between 9:15 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., similar robberies took place in Norwalk, Commerce, Fullerton, and Anaheim. In one of these incidents, the suspects stole the clerk’s car, which was later used in another robbery and then recovered in Orange.
In total, nine convenience stores were robbed during this spree.
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lakewood Station spotted a vehicle that matched the description of the getaway car.
When they tried to stop the vehicle, the suspects led them on a chase. The pursuit ended around 2:30 p.m. at E. 11th Street and Raymond Avenue in Long Beach, where the suspects attempted to flee on foot. With help from the Long Beach Police Department, deputies managed to capture three of the suspects and set up a perimeter to search for the remaining two.
