7-11 flash mob: Maryland police investigate store robbery

Possibly three dozen people walked into a Maryland 7-11 convenience store early last Saturday morning and walked out with candy, drinks, and other snacks in what appears to be another instance of a flash mob robbery.

Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, near Washington, D.C., are investigating the flash mob robbery, in which an undetermined dollar amount of items were taken from the store. No arrests have been made, as of Tuesday morning.

The son of the store's owner told a local television station the flash mob was not in a hurry when they came into the store. The sole clerk in the store at the time of the robbery hit a panic button to alert police when he realized what was happening.

The entire episode was captured by the store's security cameras.
