TACOMA, Wash — Brazen criminals continue to target 24-hour convenience stores and coffee shops around Puget Sound.
In a one-week span last month, 12 different overnight robberies alone in King County were confirmed by KING 5.
7-Eleven locations in particular have been hit on a regular basis.
"It's been so rapidly rising that it has been kind of getting out of control," said Chander Shekher, president of the 7-Eleven Franchisee Owners' Association of the Northwest.
