"They’re pretty close to each other. I’d say probably 10 minutes within for each location," Chino spokesperson Michelle Van Der Linden said.
The convenience stores were all located in close proximity to the 60 Freeway.

"It does not surprise me, no it does not," 7-Eleven customer Carlos Venegas said. "Probably 'cause they know the area already."
The subject has been described as a white or Latino male in his 20's, 5'6" with a thin build, who was last seen wearing a sweatshirt with the word "Obey" on the front.
"He's got very dark, short hair and he was described as having some cuts on his face under his eye and also on his hand," Van Der Linden said.
