LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A violent armed robbery in front of a taco truck was caught on video, and police want the public's help to identify the two suspects.

The robbery happened at about 9:45 p.m. on Aug. 20 in front of a taco truck in the area of Washington Boulevard and Cimarron Street in the Mid-City area.
