Overview
- Surveillance video from the East Los Angeles store, which was hit around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, shows two masked men grabbing two cash registers in seconds.
- LASD said there was no forced entry or threats in the theft, and only one customer was inside with no injuries reported.
- NBC Los Angeles reported police are not treating the case as grand theft after estimating at least $900 taken, though an employee told LASD the cash may have topped $1,000.
- Investigators said both suspects wore dark clothing, one jumped the counter, and the pair ran off westbound on Olympic Boulevard.
- Similar 7‑Eleven register thefts reported late Monday in Westlake and in Palms, which police said was armed, remain under review for possible links.
