Mob robs, attacks South LA taco truck, livestreams entire crime

Mob live streams attack on taco truck

A mob of men robbed a South Los Angeles taco truck and attacked the workers inside. The group live-streamed the attack.

LOS ANGELES - A mob terrorized workers in a late-night attack on a taco truck.

Officials said the entire thing was caught on camera because the suspects not only robbed the business, but they also livestreamed the entire thing. 

What we know:

Tacos Los Poblanos, a Tijuana-style taco truck at Avalon Boulevard and Slauson Avenue, is a favorite with locals in South LA's Florence neighborhood. But on August 3, just after midnight, the beloved business was under attack — targeted in a robbery and assault.

Images of the violent assault were caught on camera, which showed about 15 men destroying property and shattering windows.

The men allegedly attacked half a dozen people in the area. Police said they robbed the business and vandalized the truck, leaving workers traumatized.

One person was taken to the hospital for abrasions and a laceration. Five others reported injuries but were not transported. 

To make the attack even worse, customers told the owners the perpetrators livestreamed their assault, seeming to want a wider viewing audience for their destruction.

The owners posted a statement saying, "This is absolutely devastating to us on so many levels. Our team works extremely hard. We have never had problems with it anyone."

A GoFundMe has been created to help the owners.
