Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives watched a four-person crew linked to thefts dating back to Feb. 13 pilfer more Scratchers in Arlington Heights. This time, however, the thieves' luck ran out as they were arrested, the sheriff’s department announced Wednesday.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detectives investigating a series of strong-arm robberies during which thousands of California Lottery Scratchers games were stolen from convenience stores caught a break last week. On April 11, detectives spotted a vehicle linked to 44 robberies over a nine-week stretch parked outside a 7-Eleven in Arlington Heights, a sheriff’s spokesperson said Thursday. There, detectives watched a four-person crew suspected in the thefts pilfer more Scratchers.
The department does not release the names of juvenile suspects. The total loss from the robberies was more than $250,000, with $90,000 of that total coming through cashed stolen Scratchers. Representatives from 7-Eleven did not respond to an email regarding store safety. The Sheriff's Department released a video of the incident. A suspect appears to jump over the counter and begin to reach for the drawers containing California Lotto tickets.
