Los Angeles County 7-Eleven raided and ransacked by 50 masked teens
About 50 masked teens rushed into a Los Angeles 7-Eleven and ransacked the convenience store before speeding off on bicycles Friday night.
The chaos happened at about 8 p.m. inside a 7-Eleven at Olympic and La Cienega Boulevards. During the madness, clerks pushed a panic alarm, notifying the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers said the teens took off with a bunch of cigarettes and other merchandise like snacks and drinks from the store, most of which was caught on camera. Footage shows the moments that several members of the group climb onto counters, push shelves to the floor and throw items around the store.
Employees stayed late Friday to clean up the disaster left behind by the mob.
Police got there after the teens had left and did not arrest anyone.
Customers who frequent the store were shocked to see the video but not that surprised based on the recent string of crime plaguing the Los Angeles area.
"It wasn't a random act," said one woman. "It had to be organized. It's almost like, you know, the kids know they're not gonna be prosecuted."
No one was injured during the mayhem.
