2 killed in LA crash after stealing Valentines

LOS ANGELES — Authorities say two men suspected of robbing a street-corner Valentine’s Day gift stand in Los Angeles were killed early Sunday in a car crash after leading police on a chase.

Police Lt. Samuel Rhone says the men stole gift baskets and cash from a street vendor near downtown. The victim called police and officers located their car nearby, which sped away.

The suspects crashed into a parked vehicle and were thrown from the car. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

They were not immediately identified.
