Police Saturday sought the public’s help in identifying four young men suspected in a 45-minute spree of armed robberies of taco vendors in South Los Angeles.
The vendors were targeted between 8:30 and 9:15 p.m. Thursday at the intersections of 49th Street and Compton Avenue, 41st and Alameda streets, and 57th Street and Broadway, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
At least one gun was brandished as the suspects demanded money and cellular phones from their victims, police said.
The suspects, who were captured on surveillance cameras, are believed to be 18 to 20 years old. They escaped in a car similar to an older-model Lexus, with front right body damage and a partial plate of 5UV.
Anyone with information about the bandits was urged to call (323) 846- 6572 to speak with Detective Davis, or the watch commander at the LAPD’s Newton Station at (323) 846-6553.
