7-Eleven Armed Robbery Suspects Arrested

CULVER CITY, CA — Two armed suspects accused of robbing two Culver City 7-Eleven stores were arrested Sunday while they attempted to rob a third 7-Eleven, according to the Culver City Police Department.

Two separate armed robberies happened Sunday at 4:50 a.m. at 4436 Sepulveda Blvd. and another at 5:05 a.m. at 11001 Washington Blvd., police said.

Two men were armed with a handgun and rifle entered the stores during both robberies and held the clerks at gunpoint while stealing money and other items, police said. The suspects then fled before officers arrived.

After the second robbery, officers checked nearby 7-Eleven locations and saw two men holding the store clerk at gunpoint at another 7-Eleven located at 10356 Venice Blvd., which is located in LAPD's Pacific Division, police said.

The suspects saw the officers and ran to the back of the store while the clerk ran out through the front doors.

"Culver City Officers established a perimeter containing the suspects within the store and called LAPD," police said.

LAPD officers arrived at the investigation and ultimately took both suspects into custody without incident, police said. Both suspects were positively identified and arrested for the robberies. The suspects' names were not immediately released.
