    An Instagram photo of a man posing with stacks of stolen cash led to the arrest of four accused robbers in California, federal officials reported.

    The four men robbed a series of stores , mostly 7-Elevens in the Los Angeles area, in November and December, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said in a Tuesday, July 23, news release.

    The men jumped over store counters and stole cash while one armed with a gun stole wallets or phones from employees or customers, prosecutors said. They fled in a BMW.

    The men stole $7,617 in all, authorities said.

    On Nov. 28, one of the men posted a photo of stacks of stolen cash to Instagram with the caption, “love my bros we go hit every time,” prosecutors said.

    He also tagged the Instagram accounts of two of the other accused robbers, authorities said.

    On July 10, prosecutors indicted Charles Christopher, 24, of Compton, D’Angelo Spencer, 26, of South Los Angeles, Jordan Leonard, 25, of Torrance, and Tazjar Rouse, 22, of Hollywood, officials said.

    They face charges of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery and interference with commerce by robbery, prosecutors said. Christopher and Leonard pleaded not guilty to the charges.
