A taco vendor in Long Beach was the victim of an armed robbery overnight.

According to the Long Beach Police Department, officers responded to the corner of Cedar Avenue and Willow Street around 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

The workers alleged that a masked man on a bicycle rode up to their pop-up taco stand, flashed a gun at them and demanded their money.

He was able to get away with $3,500, preliminary information indicates.

Video obtained by KTLA shows police interviewing the employees and potential witnesses as customers continued to order food.

The suspect was said to have fled westbound on Willow Street on a bicycle.

No further details were immediately released.

Detroit Police Department agrees to new rules around facial recognition tech
As part of a legal settlement, the Detroit Police Department has agreed to new guardrails limiting how it can use facial recognition technology. It also states that photo lineups cannot be conducted solely on the basis of facial recognition — instead, there must be additional evidence linking a suspect to the crime. The policies — which can be enforced by a court for the next four years — also require police training around the risks and dangers of facial recognition tech, and an audit of all cases since 2017 where facial recognition was used to obtain an arrest warrant.
