The first robbery was reported at 8:03 p.m. Friday at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, where about 20 people in their late teens or early 20s smashed the windows of a 7-Eleven and stole food and other merchandise, Los Angeles police reported.
At around 8:22 p.m., a similar group robbed a 7-Eleven in the 5700 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, near Western Avenue, also vandalized the store and then rode away on their bicycles.
