California families are turning their children in to police in connection to a series of flash mob robberies that targeted 7-Eleven stores in recent weeks.
The Los Angeles Police Department released more than 100 photos from at least 14 robberies carried out by a group of 20 to 40 juveniles from mid-July to September.
The teens rode bikes as they targeted the stores usually Friday evenings; the mob damaged property and stole items without paying.
“The suspects are described as youthful males, possibly teens varying in ethnicity and physical descriptors,” police added.
“Several witnesses continue to fear for their safety after such aggressive and callous criminal behavior.”
LAPD Assistant Chief said that at least three parents identified their children in the photos and reached out to the police.
