California thieves raid three 7-Eleven stores in less than 20 minutes, hours after Gavin Newsom signed a “groundbreaking” package to curb burglary

A California bicycle mob looted three different 7-Eleven stores in less than 20 minutes, just hours after Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a “landmark” anti-shoplifting package.

According to NBC Los Angeles, citing the LAPD, about 20 bicycle thieves targeted two supermarkets two miles apart in the Hollywood area on Friday evening.

The brazen gang broke into each store and stole food and drinks, starting with the 7-Eleven at 7040 West Sunset Boulevard shortly after 8 p.m.

The window of the shop was broken.

An employee at a second store near Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue was allegedly attacked around 8:16 p.m., the outlet reported.

A third store on Santa Monica Boulevard was hit at 8:22 p.m.

The Post has contacted the LAPD.

Friday night's chaos is the latest burglary incident to hit the Golden State.

A store manager told the outlet that the youths caught on CCTV Friday appeared to be the same group that carried out robberies at two other 7-Eleven stores in the area last week.

According to the Public Policy Institute of California, between 2019 and 2022, California saw a 22% increase in shoplifting and a 16% and 13% increase in commercial burglaries and robberies, respectively.

Lightning crashes have left politicians at the local and state level in a bind after Newsom signed a new bipartisan law on Friday.

The “groundbreaking” law was signed to impose harsher penalties on serial shoplifters, retail thieves and car thieves.

The law also “allows the consolidation of stolen goods, allowing prosecutors to add together the value of multiple stolen items – even from different victims and different counties – to meet the threshold for grand theft.”

In California, stolen items valued at more than $950 are considered grand theft.

“Let's be clear: This is the most significant anti-property crime legislation in California's modern history,” Newsome said Friday.

“While some seek to return us to the ineffective and costly measures of the past, these new laws represent a better way forward: they make our communities safer and give law enforcement meaningful tools to arrest and hold criminals accountable.”
