Speaking of mass robberies in the Bay Area…a family-owned jewelry shop in Oakland’s Chinatown was targeted around 1:40AM.
The owner tells me about a dozen people were seen on surveillance trying to break in.
You can see a crowbar & what appears to be a carjack (1/4) #BayArea

The people are unable to break through the metal gate installed earlier this year. (They were robbed in Feb.)
I shortened the 4m vid but here’s the end where you can see everyone run into waiting cars nearby.
"We just feel so numb & disgusted.” says the owner. (2/4) #oakland

A good neighbor called 9-1-1 to alert OPD.
BTW: this shop was the one I reported on a few months ago. A family member witnessed women get robbed & dragged on the ground outside.
He ran after them & threw a stool to stop the getaway car. (3/4) #oakland #aapi

The store owner tells me they’re adding security cameras, moving their inventory to a safer place & working on finding ways to stay in business safely.
(BTW: grandma apparently loves her store but is in “utter shock this year” and is terrified. 😢)

Note: the jewelry store incident from this fall where a man chased after the prude snatchers is actually another location— same family.
One family member says a jewelry store on the block closed because of theft and moved to San Jose.
