Just yesterday 2 men (at least 1 dressed like a mail carrier) invaded the home of a couple in their 60’s.
Their daughter said the men pistol-whipped her mom twice & held dad against his will.
You can see one man pull out a long object f/his bag. abc7ne.ws/3MS0e7K
This all happened days after 2 fams were attacked in home invasion robberies on 5/31.
You may remember the couple in their 60’s & 70’s tied up & put in a bathroom as their home was ransacked. Their car was used to rob a father w/a 15-m/o #StopAsianHateabc7ne.ws/3xhexgl

This woman owns a cigarette store & says she’s been robbed 7xs. A truck also rammed into her shop. You can still see tire marks.
Trinh Le even sleeps on the floor of his jewelry store because he’s has 10 break-ins in one year & has to be his own security guard. #StopAsianHate
Nearly two dozen business owners met w/me today to share their stories & videos hoping the city will pay attention to Little Saigon like they do to Chinatown.
Here is the Quickly being robbed.
They want cameras, volunteer patrols, more police presence. abc7ne.ws/3QmAMKL
This man in his 60’s was carjacked & dragged on the pavement in Oakland’s Chinatown 8th & Jackson this afternoon.
He left his keys in the car while picking up a bag of rice & the suspect got in the car.
The victim runs over & holds on to the vehicle. (Thread ⬇️) #StopAAPIHate
You can see the man suffered abrasions to many parts of his body including his face.
Thankfully two volunteer patrol groups & civilians stopped to translate, call 9-1-1 & render aid. OPD arrived minutes later as they were doing patrols nearby at the time.
Carl Chan, Oakland Chinatown Chamber pres said “ppl think crime is down especially [pertaining to] #aapi hate. It seems like it’s slowing down but it’s not. Report to PD…let ppl know these incidents happen in our community.”
These 82 & 72 y/os were tied up, mouths taped shut & shoved in a bathroom for 2 hrs while their San Jose home was ransacked.
The suspects even used the couple’s cell phone to call a translator to get their ATM PIN.
I have NEVER heard of that before. #StopAsianHate Thread ⬇️
They showed me how multiple attackers jumped over a fence, entered (while they were resting/watching Chinese soap operas) bound their wrists with their own belts.
The 82-year old man was hit on the head with a gun & a knife put to his throat.

A woman who asked to be ID’s as “Ms. Yu” parked her car near Foothill & 13th around 8:30PM 3/27 (1/5) #StopAsianHate
She didn’t notice anybody following her, but as she walked to the passenger side to get her bag noticed “4 or 5 guys” approach. At least one had a firearm.
As she ran away, one suspect “took my keys from my hand and pushed me to the ground…I hit my head.” (2/5) #StopAAPIHate
Seconds later, her car was gone & susps escaped in a nearby vehicle.
Along with her purse and laptop, her best friend’s wedding dress for her upcoming fall wedding was stolen.
They picked it up the gown one day earlier. Ms.Yu was going to store it at her home. #oakland (3/5)
A man who works around 27th & Valdez in Oakland told me he saw 3 men jump out of a car around 4pm today.
Witnesses & sources tell me the men were armed. The Asian victim was assaulted & his LV backpack stolen. (1/4)
You can hear the victim yell “please!” multiple times as a nearby car honks.
⠀
2 dif ppl took these videos & requested anonymity but gave me permission to post them to raise awareness.
The victim runs after the getaway car in an attempt to stop the suspects. (2/4) #oakland
OPD arrived on scene a short time later & are investigating.
⠀
People who work in the area tell me they see car break-ins and other crimes here constantly/daily. This is an area w/shops & businesses & plenty of housing.
⠀
1 nearby workers told me crime is… (3/4) #oakland
