Brazen thieves on bikes raided three 7-Eleven stores in California in the space of half an hour, smashing their way in and taking all they could carry.
About 20 robbers swarmed inside the shops in Hollywood, grabbing food, drinks, cigarettes and anything else on shelves.
Staff could only stand by helplessly as their convenience stores were ransacked in the blink of an eye before the invaders moved on to the next.
The raids lasted a matter of minutes each, starting at 8:02pm on Friday when the 7040 West Sunset Boulevard store was hit, police said. Another near Hollywood and Highland was raided just 14 minutes later, and a shop worker was assaulted in the chaos.
The third to be knocked over was 5700 Santa Monica Boulevard at 8:22 pm.
Police didn't confirm that all three were related, but they were all close together with the same strategy of smashing windows and escaping on bikes.
Another 7-Eleven was raided by a similar-sized mob, also on bikes, on Olympic Boulevard in Pico-Robertson, Los Angeles, the previous Friday night.
Thieves also jumped over the counter to raid the good behind it, and pointlessly vandalize the shop by knocking over cash registers and screens.
Staff even had random items thrown at them as they tried to avoid the chaos and couldn't intervene while so hopelessly outnumbered.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday signed into law 10 bipartisan bills allowing longer sentences for shoplifters, robbers, burglars, and car thieves.

If their mama cries and says "he dindo nuffun" while we have them on tape doing it she may go join him in the prison.
I certainly hope this "crackdown" doesn't disproportionately affect any historically disadvantaged groups.
Is it possible Gavin is finally growing up?
Just more reason to create those urban food deserts they complain about.
Naa he is just pandering because of a prop 36 on the Nov ballot to roll back the 950.00 and under no jail time..
Only the brazen ones.
One collapsed nation, at war with God.

Democrats never cared much for problems business folks have. So it’s more likely Newsom signed the new law just to make himself look tougher on the national stage.
Anyway, what good is that new law if the local DAs won’t apply it?
“Gangs of brazen teen robbers ransack three 7-Eleven stores in Hollywood on same day Gavin Newsom pledged crackdown on ‘smash and grabs’”
gee, gavin, impossible to “crackdown” as long as California MANDATES bail-not-required catch-and-release ... so, why should cops even bother to arrest in the first place?
You mean the store employees and owners, right?

No.
LMAO! The woman reporter’s closing words to the public: “...if you do have any more details about what happened at these stores, you are encouraged to contact the LAPD.” HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.
Undocumented reparations.
And Dey mammas will complain when there are no more stores in the neighborhood.
[One collapsed nation, at war with God.]
That’s correct. I remember when the TV had commercials that said “Attend your favorite church this Sunday”. That was probably the 1960s.
Now, the Godless are running rampant.
They saw the “FREE” sign in the window? Don’t they know that they can get a FREE slurpee on 7-11? Sheesh.
LOL!
In the small town of Summerton, SC (population below 700 and almost 80% black) they had one grocery store, a Piggly Wiggly. This store had been there since the 50’s. Fast forward to the 2010’s. A manager from another location was sent in to find out why sales had plummeted. Comes to find out not only were the citizens robbing the place blind, but the black employees were loading their cars up at the end of their shifts with anything they could grab. Not long after corporate was notified of what was happening the store was closed. Of course the town members and local black politicians started whining and crying about how now they had no place to get food. Local newspaper ran the story. Next time the paper came out there was a reply from corporate which stated the reason they closed the store was rampant theft. After that, no one complained anymore.
