Recent East LA Taco Stand Robberies Has Street Vendors on Edge | Eater LA

"On June 19 two Latino men robbed a late-night taco stand near the recreation center at gunpoint, stealing $120; the suspects wore bandanas over their faces and ran into nearby housing projects to evade capture. Police say this incident is part of a recent rise in late-night robberies targeting street vendors, and the Hollenbeck Division has asked the public for help while investigators search for additional suspects. Law enforcement has already shot and arrested one individual who has been charged in two other robberies, but officers warn there may be more, potentially unrelated, perpetrators still at large." - Mona Holmes
