Two convenience stores were hit by armed robbers within about 20 minutes of each other in Los Angeles overnight.
The most recent incident was reported at 12:05 a.m. Monday when three male suspects armed with a handgun entered a 7-Eleven store on the 1600 block of Silver Lake Boulevard in the Silver Lake neighborhood.
The suspects took an unknown amount of property from the store and fled in a white vehicle, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Miller said.
Video showed a a cash register drawer on the ground of the parking lot as police investigated the scene.
No arrests have been made, Miller said.
Less than three miles away, another 7-Eleven was held up by three males armed with a handgun on North San Fernando Road and Fletcher Drive in the Glassell Park neighborhood.
Police responded to the call around 11:45 p.m. but found the suspects had already fled in a white vehicle with an unknown amount of property.
Although the suspect and vehicle descriptions were similar in both crimes, detectives have not determined if they are related.
