Teenagers went on a crime spree in Los Angeles and 12 arrested, as Hollywood was hit by roaming bands of robbers on Wednesday night, causing mayhem when approximately 40 young people rampaged through the area. Eight robberies have been reported, and police are investigating how the groups formed, probably using social media to send out information to the swarming groups.
Investigators are also looking into whether the group was made up of some of the same youths who were attacking people and vandalizing stores in the Crenshaw district earlier this week, when demonstrators protested the George Zimmerman murder trial verdict.
