An armed man captured robbing a California-based 7-Eleven didn't forget his manners before fleeing the scene.

The incident was among a string of robberies carried out by a group at five different locations in the Los Angeles area on April 18, according to police.

The crime spree between 1 a.m. and 11 p.m. also expanded to Pasadena and Baldwin Park. In the video, one of the suspects donning a gray sweatsuit demanded money from the cashier.

"Thank you," he said after receiving the cash. "Have a good night, brother."

Pursuit ensued; three suspects arrested

The Los Angeles Police said the accused group drove a stolen Hyundai Sonata, and a blue steel handgun with an extended magazine was used during the crime spree.

When they would arrive at a location, "one individual would remain on the lookout and the others would enter the store to commit the armed robbery," the department stated.

While attempting to make another move just before 10 p.m., the group was pursued by the Alhambra PD and, as the chase continued, authorities from the LAPD Central Division.

Jacuri Tobias, 21, as well as two minors, aged 15 and 17, were arrested. The fourth suspect fled, and the weapon is not in police custody. A LAPD spokesperson told Paste BN that there are no updates to this case as of Tuesday morning.
