In this series, the robbery crew of 4 (3 adults and 1 juvenile) operated all over Los Angeles primarily stealing scratch-off lottery tickets from 7-11 stores 44 times over a period of 9 weeks. The total value of what they stole, inclduding other retail items, was $250,000.
Similar elements of this crime pattern:
- targeted item: lottery tickets
- specific location: 42 sites were 7-11 convenience stores, the other two were also at convenience stores
- method: strong-arm robberies rather than use of weapon
- suspects: multiple rather than one
There may be other similar elements not indicated in the video and articles below, such as time of day, vehicles used, nuances in suspect descriptions, words used by robbers, time of day patterns, etc.
The goal of law enforcement is to end such a series as soon as possible once it is identified. Early identification is crucial as well.
