LOS ANGELES - Officials said a group of masked suspects robbed a 7-Eleven in South Los Angeles overnight. It's the latest in a string of robberies targeting the convenience store chain.
What we know:
An official with the Los Angeles Police Department said the robbery was reported around 12:30 a.m. on Friday, April 25.
During the incident, the terrified store clerk complied and handed cash to the suspects.
