East LA 7‑Eleven Robbery Caught on Camera as Deputies Hunt Two Suspects

Investigators probe a fast, low‑contact theft pattern targeting 7‑Eleven stores in Los Angeles.

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.
