Two convenience stores were robbed Friday night in Hollywood in less than half an hour, both by young men riding bicycles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
About 20 young men arrived at a store in the 7000 block of Sunset Boulevard around 8 p.m., smashed windows and grabbed food and other merchandise, a department spokesman said.
A group of young men with the same description then hit another store around 8:20 p.m. in the 5700 block of Santa Monica Boulevard. KABC-TV reported that both the robbed stores were 7-Eleven stores.
As of Saturday morning, the police had made no arrests. There was no estimate of the value of what was taken and no injuries were reported, according to the LAPD spokesperson.
The Hollywood robbery follows a similar incident last week in the Pico-Robertson area, where a group of youths ransacked a 7-Eleven store and left on bicycles, Fox 11-TV reported. The video showed people jumping over the counter and grabbing items.
