Three 7-Eleven stores hit by suspects who made off with cash registers in SoCal

Authorities this weekend were investigating three robberies at 7-Eleven locations in Southern California. 

Deputy Meza with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Information Bureau says all three incidences involved four suspects jumping over the counters and making off with multiple cash registers from each location.

The first incident unfolded around 3:30 a.m. Sunday in the 14300 block of Artesia Boulevard in Bellflower. No weapons were used and no significant damage was reported. The suspects fled in a black sedan. 

Twenty minutes later, a second 7-Eleven was hit in the 5800 block of Bellflower Boulevard. The third incident unfolded just before 4:30 a.m. in the 2600 block of Carson Street in Lakewood. 

 It remains unclear if the same suspects were involved in all three incidents, nor whether all three incidents were at all related.

Investigators have not connected a similar string of robberies at two 7-Eleven locations in Long Beach, which also featured multiple suspects who took money from each store's cash register before fleeing. 

The impacted stores in Long Beach are located in the 3400 block and 5000 block of Long Beach Boulevard. 

Investigators have not confirmed if any of the incidents are connected. 

No other details were immediately available.
