Three suspects in liquor store robbery caught on surveillance tape

Police are asking for the public's help in identifying three suspects in a liquor store robbery caught on surveillance video in South Los Angeles.

The suspects robbed the store in the 6000 block of South Avalon Boulevard about 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, police said. Two of the men were armed with semiautomatic handguns.

One clerk was able to run away and lock himself inside a back room, police said. Another clerk obeyed commands to empty the cash register.

The suspects made their getaway in a gray four-door compact car, police said.

The men may have been responsible for other robberies in the area, police said. A fourth suspect may have driven the getaway car.

Anyone with information is asked to call Newton Division robbery detectives at (323) 846-6572.

This incident shows why the U.S. constitution recognizes the right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.

It's the right to "bare" arms, not bear arms! If you're gonna quote The Constitution then the least you can do is spell it right. Yea, sure, a firefight in the store would solve everything. I'm glad no one was hurt (physically).
