Parents in the Los Angeles area are being commended for turning in their teens involved in a series of flash mob robberies at 7-Eleven stores. After discovering their children’s participation in these crimes, several parents surrendered their kids to police stations. LAPD Assistant Chief Blake Chow noted that many of the juveniles were not from the neighborhoods where the robberies occurred. Residents, like Tiffany Brown, praised the parents for their actions, emphasizing the importance of addressing such behavior early on. The LAPD reported that the robberies, involving 20 to 40 individuals on bicycles, began in July, prompting increased patrols to prevent future incidents.
