The parents of some unruly teenagers accused of flash mob robberies at several Los Angeles-area convenience stores have turned them in to police, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

At least three parents have turned their children over to police, the Los Angeles Times reports. The robberies occurred over the summer, and surveillance footage provided by police shows groups of young men cycling to the stores, forcing their way in and wreaking havoc inside.

“They did the right thing because if you don't stop them young, they could go pretty far,” resident Tiffany Brown told FOX 11 Los Angeles.

The teen's surrender occurred on Sept. 26, 28 and 29, Deputy Police Chief Blake Chow said during Tuesday's LAPD commission meeting.

“On September 29, another parent surrendered their child and that juvenile was also charged with robbery,” Chow said during the meeting.

Although the LAPD did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment, the department said in an earlier press release that the “bike crew” consisted of approximately 20 to 40 juveniles.

Thirteen of the 14 reported incidents occurred on Friday evening, according to the statement.

“The suspects break into the stores in the evening hours, steal goods, damage property and flee without paying,” the statement said.

“In several incidents, the witnesses were physically pushed by the suspects during the criminal takeover of the stores, with no regard for the safety of others. Although no physical injuries were reported, several witnesses continue to fear for their safety following such aggressive acts and callous criminal behavior.”

The affected 7-Eleven locations are in Rampart, Hollywood, Wilshure and West LA counties, the Times reports.

7-Eleven did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

“If your children are riding bikes, running into stores, or stealing things, it's clear that you are not in control of the situation,” said licensed clinical psychologist Dr. David Swanson told FOX 11. “These parents may fear that if this behavior continues, it could escalate into more serious crimes and lead to prison time.”
