A large group of juveniles used “bodily force” to ransack a 7-Eleven store in Los Angeles Friday night, authorities said.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that about 50 teens descended upon the 7-Eleven at the corner of Olympic and La Cienega boulevards in Pico-Robertson at 7:50 p.m.
The teens, many of whom were wearing masks, forcibly stole property from the store, the spokesperson said.
Video posted to the Citizen App shows police officers responding to the store, where displays had been knocked over and products scattered across the floor, including hot food items, sunglasses, automotive products and even an open gallon of milk.
Surveillance footage obtained by KTLA shows multiple teens hopping over the front counter and grabbing a fistful of products.
