Flash robbery crew wanted for ransacking Southern California stores
Authorities are searching for suspects wanted for a series of flash mob robberies targeting stores across Los Angeles County.
The group of suspects began targeting retail shops on March 3, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The robbery crew involves around 10 to 20 male suspects who are all between 15 to 25 years old, authorities said.
The suspects entered retail stores at nighttime while wearing hooded sweatshirts and face coverings. They would quickly overtake the shops and begin grabbing as much clothing and merchandise as they could hold.
They would then run out of the store without paying for the items and typically fled the area on bicycles, police said.
All the recently targeted stores were located within a few miles of each other.
