La Mirada- Five robbery suspects were arrested early Sunday after robbing donut shops in La Mirada and Santa Fe Springs ten minutes apart.

Four of the same suspects then entered a donut shop in the 15700 block of Imperial Hwy about 4:25 a.m. and while one suspect simulated he had a handgun under his shirt while the others struck the victim, then fled with cash and lottery tickets
No one was seriously injured in either incident
Less than 115 minutes after the second robbery a Sheriff's Sergeant spotted a truck driving in the same area that the La Mirada robbery had occurred in with five occupants that matched the descriptions given to deputies and began following.
The men were taken into custody after a stop was made on Beach Blvd north of Rosecrans Ave.
Whittier Police are assisting in the investigation.
No further details were immediately available.
The police went easy on them even though they could have been much cruller..
