An armed man was caught on camera robbing a 7-Eleven in California but not before showing some manners.

The incident was part of a series of robberies committed by a group at multiple locations in Los Angeles on April 18, as reported by the police.

The crime spree extended to Pasadena and Baldwin Park, with one suspect in a gray sweatsuit seen demanding money from the cashier in the video.

After receiving the cash, the suspect said, "Thank you. Have a good night, brother."

The Los Angeles Police revealed that the group used a stolen Hyundai Sonata and a blue steel handgun with an extended magazine during the robberies.

Upon arriving at a location, "one individual would keep watch while the others entered the store to carry out the armed robbery," the department explained.

As they attempted another robbery just before 10 p.m., the group was chased by the Alhambra PD and later by authorities from the LAPD Central Division.

Jacuri Tobias, 21, along with two minors aged 15 and 17, were apprehended. The fourth suspect managed to escape, and the weapon has not been recovered by the police. A LAPD spokesperson confirmed that there have been no updates on the case as of Tuesday morning.
