Spate of Taco Truck Robberies Plagues South Los Angeles

A series of violent and unprovoked robberies have targeted taco trucks in South Los Angeles, prompting community members to organize a food and fellowship fundraiser to show support for the street vendors and raise funds to help them recover their losses. The latest attack occurred at Tacos Los Chemas, where employees were threatened with a gun and pistol-whipped. Organizers hope to raise thousands of dollars in donations and call on city leaders to create stiffer penalties for attacks on street vendors.
